The pamphlet stitch is a very simple bookbinding stitch, but it's also versatile. You can jazz it up and create all sorts of fun handmade books! In this handmade book tutorial, I show you how to make a 3-hole pamphlet stitch journal. I use canvas for my book cover, Khadi paper for my signatures, and some scrap ribbon and eyelets for the closure.
If you have any questions about making this pamphlet stitch journal, let me know in the comments!
