Black & Blue Paisley Corduroy Journal

I am a very tactile person, especially when it comes to crafting. So covering a book in corduroy fabric was quite a treat for me.

Size: 4" x  5.25"

# of Sections: 15, with 4 folios each 

# of Pages: 240

Stitches: Kettle, Coptic, French Link over Tapes

Closure: 1/4" Elastic

Cover Material: Corduroy Fabric

Thread: Linen

It is bound with Coptic and French Link Stitches over grosgrain ribbon. I'm not sure I've mentioned it before, but I always wax my thread before stitching with it. It keeps it from tangling as easy, and helps the stitches, and especially the knots, to stay put.

I love the high contrast of the paisley designs with the black background.

The colored text paper matched the fabric design perfectly, and I already had it on-hand. That probably won't happen too often.

I usually sell all my handmade books, but this one might be a keeper, if only for the yummy covers!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a fabulous week!
