This hand-sewn journal has beautiful Japanese paper with a fan pattern on the covers. I sewed it with purple linen thread using French Link stitch. This sewing style allows the journal to open completely flat. The sewing shows four X patterns on the open spine. I tipped (or glued) in purple end sheets that attach the covers and the blank pages. There are 108 blank Savoy White pages and SIZE is 5” x 7.25”
