IN PERSON
This historic binding is beautiful as well as functional. The sewing patterns created on the spine are the same stitches that hold the book together. There are endless possibilities for different patterns to be sewn. This book opens flat so it is easy to work/draw in the pages. The wraparound flap at the front edge keeps the book protected when it’s closed. Start your summer out with a new journal.
