I LOVE notebooks. I always have. Lately, I really don’t use them like I used to. These days I am more apt to type something into my ipad or iphone. But still, I could not help but pick up this very cool notebook. The inner pages are all KRAFT. LOVE IT! To make it my own, I just covered it with some decorative paper. To give it a nice finished look, I took the extra step to use some linen book tape at the top to cover the seam.
WATCH KIT WINNER!

I love the way stitching looks on paper. But when trying to create a sewn cover on a thick material, like this notebook… machine sewing just would not work.
A simple solution is to just fake it! I started by taking a piece of Kraft cardstock {that matched the cover of the notebook} and glued all the little paper strips to it. {a great way to use those scraps} I ran that through my machine, then…adhered the whole “faceplate” to the cover of notebook. Now there is no surface safe from paper stitching. This works for all types of thick chipboard, board books, or anything you want to have machine stitching on a thick surface!
