Make your own lay-flat notebook using the beautiful Coptic stitch technique. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to prep and fold pages into signatures, punch sewing stations, and sew everything together with an exposed spine that’s both strong and eye-catching. You’ll leave with a handmade notebook that opens completely flat - perfect for journaling, sketching, or gifting.
