Cozy Bookbinding with Calming Piano | Making a Sketchbook Real-Time 📒 | Coptic Stitch Binding

I hope you find this video relaxing! There is no talking in this one.

I find Coptic stitch to be meditative and challenging (in a good way) even though I've made so many! Although this isn't a tutorial, this video was made for aspiring and beginner bookbinders in mind. If you've tried coptic binding before and need a refresher, you can watch this and follow along by pausing the video. Or you can sit back, play this in the background and enjoy the lovely relaxing piano music! Feel free to leave your questions below.
