  Using a darning needle and following the lines of your design, poke holes through the notebook cover, spacing each about 3-4mm apart…

  Carefully peel your paper and sticky tape off, and you’re ready to begin sewing!

  Step 6

  Separate your thread – you’ll want three strands for a medium-sized notebook, two for a smaller one…

  Starting from the back, bring your needle through, then back again, to make your first stitch.

  Using a backstitch, follow the lines you’ve made and connect the dots! Remember to keep your paper design close to hand so you can check you’re following the right lines.
