To add to the vintage feel, I print on Ivory Southworth Parchment paper. It is 32# paper, so it has a nice weight to it. You can find it on Amazon HERE. NOTE: As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchase.
I selected one of the pages to use as the covers.
You'll find a tutorial of how I thread my cording through the spine HERE.
Since I found this very old-fashioned music sheet, I had to add Medieval images so I could use this page in my next Medieval journal. It works with my Medieval journal kit found HERE.
Thanks for visiting.

Good afternoon, I love your journals and I will buy a set of you!!! I saw you are sewing them together??? I have Eileen Hull die but I thought you only are using the rubberband..............Thanks Els
Hi Els. I hope you see this response since you don't have an email address associated with your account. (See the note at the top of my comments page about being a "no-reply blogger".
But to answer your question: Yes, I sew the signatures together. I add a center hole using an awl, and then use waxed linen thread and do a 3-hole pamphlet stitch. It keeps the pages nice and tight when inserted into the elastic cording.
Sometimes I have also punched a center hole in the spine and sewn the pages to the spine.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
