We have our cover ready.
Now we must connect everything into one piece. So, we need to prepare a long thread and a needle. The thread needs to be strong so it will last us a long time.
I used a size 10 cotton thread Areny. Before I decided to go with this size thread, I tried to test it’s durability by trying to tear it, it passed my test.
Next, I tied it to the first little hole in the cover.
Please, look at the picture very carefully.
When the thread is tied well, I took the first stock of sheets and pushed the needle through the first hole.
After pulling the needle and the thread trough the first hole onto the other side to the other side, I then pushed it into the second hole.
Then the needle and the thread are pushed through the second hole in the cover.
This how it should look like from the inside.
Then the needle and the thread are pushed back trough the second hole and are headed to the third hole. We keep repeating this pattern up to the end of the sheet. Now we are making a return trip through all the holes to the first one.
Next, we take the second stock of sheets and put the needle into the first hole, we pull the thread.
And now it starts to get a little harder. When we push the needle and thread through the second hole, we need to combine this stock of sheets from the previous one.
How do we do this? When we push the needle and thread through the second hole, we put the needle trough the thread that we previously connected the first stock of sheets with the cover.
After dragging the needle and thread under the thread od the first stock, we insert the needle into the same hole through which we just pulled the needle.
When we pull the needle through the hole in the middle stock of sheets, we insert the needle into the next hole and perform the same operation as the previous one until reach the end.
We reach the end of the holes. The needle was pushed trough the last hole and now what?
After all, we need to combine the next block of sheets with those already stitched.
Now as before, we put the needle and thread under the thread that we previously connected the previous stock of sheets.
Now as before, we put the needle and thread under the thread that we previously connected the previous stock of sheets.
We take the next stock of sheets and we push our needle and thread through the first hole from the edge.
Then we put the needle and thread through the middle of the next stock of sheets to the next hole.
We weave the thread around the earlier thread, creating a nice eye.
The thicker the notebook, the harder it will be to weave the thread. Therefore, after pulling the needle and thread through the hole, put the needle under the last stock of sewn pages.
Then open the notebook where the needle is visible.
When the needle and thread are back on our side, we knock it back into the hole and pull it through.
Thus, we make loop join next sheets to the previous ones.
Again, pull the needle and thread inside, then push the needle and thread through the next hole.
We keep repeating the process.
If we run out of thread, we tie the end to the new one and keep ongoing.
After sewing all the group of sheets, sew in the corner in the same way, remembering to thread the thread in the middle of the last group of sheets.
My very thick notebook is ready. Additionally, I decorated it with beads.
I admit that it is difficult to explain this process in words. I hope the pictures explain a lot.
