    awesome to watch!!! i am consistently late to the party, and only just watched Midori and Hobonichi systems this past month. Honestly if i was Cinderella i would not have left the house in time to make it to the ball. I am very excited to try this because I prefer homemade things and this is PERFECT. I do mixed media work and like to bind the folios into books when i am complete with them. This will give me the absolute perfect space to hold my work while in progress. And because i work in file folder size the hanging folders are perfect and i have an abundance in my studio.So very happy to have found your page.

    It has been awhile since I used this style. Not because I didn't like it, simply because I enjoy the process of binding signatures with a pamphlet stitch. But this one is a great one to get a journal made quickly and simply for use.

I am now going to put some pockets etc on to the pages. Thank you once again I have saved this in my favourites so I don't loose it and also it's so quick to make.

    I would imagine that if you had a wider spine you could make multiple holes for more signature pages? Like say double the ones you had in this video; use TWO elastic bands through 2 sets of holes in the spine that would hold the 3 signatures each?

    You'll see if you create it, that you must either have one signature or three. The only way to create this with 2 signatures is to punch the cord holes side by side and inserting them that way.
