Here is a fairly detailed tutorial showing how I make coptic bound books. I have been wanting to make some of these for ages, it is one of my favourite book forms.
I made a few. They are available in the shop, but I urge you to have a go at making them yourself. It is very satisfying!

For anyone interested in extra content - the latest Patreon Videos are about a suprise trip to New York about 15 years ago! Quite a story! And a little look for all subscribers at how I select music for these videos - very frustrating I can tell you

Thank you , my mom passed away away few months ago and I got her treasures. Her love letter to my dad and now know how to make a custom book for that❤
It occurs to me that, if you're using photocopies for the book covers, prints of photos of some of your quilts would make gorgeous books.
Better tutorial than any of the other bookbinding tutorials I have watched on TH-cam. Thanks Kate,
One of the best tutorials for making a book I have seen Kate. I went on a book binding course last Autumn, we covered a few ways to stitch a book, but this tutorial surpasses that. Thank you for sharing.
thank you so much! I get very frustrated sometimes when simple steps are missed in online tutorials - that you found it helpful - makes me happy! xxx

Agree!
The best bookbinding tutorial I have ever watched!
Thank you for an '*easy to understand* book binding 'tutorial' - I'm glad the girls could help you today :)
I just love the looks of that book binding. Thanks for sharing this lovely tutorial ( with Miss Norma & Miss Prudence as the supervisors of your project. They are so sweet. Have a Blessed day.
Feeling a bit mopey this morning but as always I can smile or be happily distracted as I wander along in Kate’s World. Thank you 😊
Kate, I’m going through your playlists and I just want you to know how much I love what you do. You think out of the box and that’s inspiring. You are lucky to have Anna working with you as well as the other folks. You’ve done and are doing a great job❤️❤️🦋
For our Christmas tradition, rather than buying individual gifts, each family brings a basket and we make a handmade goodie to put in each basket. I know what I’m making this year! Thank you so much for the tutorial! Blessings.
that will be lovely and plenty of time to make without rushing! xxx
Artery forceps!!! 🤣Every home should have some 🤣I love the offhand way you mention them 🤣
Just found you, Best tutorial ever!!! I wasn’t wrapping properly! Now I know!
Tyvm for your help.
Hugs. Maggie ❤️🤗🇨🇦❤️
The best tutorial I’ve seen for this binding stitch. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much, Kate, for sharing all your wonderful knowledge of crafting! My daughter made me a coptic-bound book a few years ago after she took a book binding workshop, and I absolutely love it. She used fabric to wrap the cover. I will definitely give this a go!!
Super clear instructions. I’m off to give it a go! Thank you for sharing. 😊
I'm here for Norma. Prudence is a bonus ♥️
ha ha ha!! xxx
Beautifully done! I’ve made many many Coptic bound books and once taught a small class-people were very frustrated. I’d’ve had them watch your tutorial beforehand had it been around! It is very fiddly to begin with, but such a nice result 😊
That was FANTASTIC! Most of the podcasts I watch are "fiber." I don't usually watch sewing/cooking etc. But yours is my exception. As I watched this my brain came up with ohh... a trillion adaptions I could make? LOL Thank you very much!
WOW you are a kind person to share all the hours into this video...thank you. I have been watching a lot of videos on book binding and I love this one. You are right it is the neatest one I have seen and it looks nice on the outside and the inside. thank you so much. I have learned so much.
Fabulous tutorial! It was a joy to stitch my book with you!
Thank you! I'm so inspired. Photography is my number one hobby. I can see me printing photos on those pages before I stich them together. I know what everyone will be getting next Christmas.
Kate, I so enjoyed this tutorial, what great gifts to make for my grandchildren. I think they would love their own little books🤗
I've been using old catalogs as "glue books" for a very long time! Just turn the page or fold over and you're ready for the next one!
I am completely entranced! I love learning something new everyday Kate! Thank you💕 You are such a good teacher!!
I have just commented on another tutorial saying it was the best i have seen, however, this is even better.
What a beautiful little book. Only just found you 2 days ago and am binge viewing backwards, love your very relaxed attitude and your cats. I’m down in Cambridgeshire so looking at other comment makers we’re neighbours.
I just love your tutorial! I’m really thinking of making my grandchildren one of these books. I think they would make wonderful memories. ❤️
Kate, this is fantastic and I can't wait to start making these. It's such a beautiful product and your tutorial is sooo goood - a whole workshop that we can pause and start at our own pace. Thank you ever so much.
So glad I found this video. You have my crafting juices flowing like crazy. Oh Norma, you are such a sweetie. Thank you so much for this. My mind is going crazy now with ideas for making these.
Glad you're spending time with us! Thank you!
Love the great descriptions on how to do bookmaking
I cannot believe how much your tutorial helped! Thank you so much for making this so much easier to understand! You are sooo appreciated!
You are very welcome! Enjoy your books! Xxx
Yayyy! I made 5 books. By the 5th one it looked neat with no tears in the paper. What a handy gift to pop in with a birthday card. Thank you for the brilliant tutorial.
Just loved this tutorial! I have never made a book before but will definitely be giving this a try, thank you for the detailed demonstration....p.s. adore your two little helpers
Thanks for sharing. Norma an Prudence such lovely cats. They want to help. So cute.
Such talent! Such Generosity! Thank you, Kate.❤️
Dear Kate, Is there anything that you cannot do? I seriously doubt it. You are so clever and talented in so many ways. Love your tutorials. Thanks so much.
many many things! ha ha! xxx
I Loved the tutorial. I worked in the printing industry for many years and never knew the reason they were called signatures. Thank you for that explanation. I Love that blue book !! You made the most beautiful book ever. Thank you for this.
I love knowing about stuff like that - things we take for granted - xxx
What beautiful little books. Your tutorial was wonderful. My fingers don't work as creatively as my mind anymore so I appreciate watching a another crraftperson create. Your shop was sold out already but I will try again soon. Your cats are so sweet. My rescue grumbles when I hold her for more than 10 seconds; not a very loving cat, but I love her just the same and will never stop trying to hold her!
these are still available in the shop - plus some little ones I made that I didn't show! xxx
Thank you, Kate, for your generosity in sharing this skill. It must have taken you hours and hours to put this together., not to mention the many hours building up your expertise. You explain things so clearly. I have always thought this would be too tricky, but now I feel I could definitely give this a go.
Wonderful - so enjoyable to randomly find this !
Oh my goodness I just can’t stop watching!! So interesting and I now have some new ideas for gifts for all of my creative family and friends (and me!). Thanks so much for making this tutorial!!!
Kate, I have been attempting to do a book binding and watched numerous videos but couldn't figure it out until I watched your video. You are a wonderful teacher! My book isn't super, but for a first attempt, I'm happy with it. Negative 15 degrees in Wisconsin this morning!
I love that I get to see this again. I made a book once before but this is different and very much neater. I’m glad for the reminder. This time I sent it to my email. Thanks Kate ❤ as always
I’ve watched a few people demo this but YOU made it understandable! Thank you! I think I can do this now.
I love your set up. Lots of goodies to craft with and make lots of fun stuff. Thanks for the great tutorial.
This is the best tutorial! Well explained and you shared some useful ideas. I never thought of using a catalogue for a book cradle, and bricks for a press. That will save some money. I like how you suggest that signatures that are being stitched should be held open and the rest can be closed and/or kept apart. It keeps one from wrapping thread around the wrong signatures. Thank you so much for this thorough tutorial!❤
That was fantastic, thank you. My Dad was a Wood Engraver and learnt Book binding to make books for his prints so its interesting to see one of the methods he might have used.
You are an amazing teacher. Thanks so much from Maryland-USA.
Thanks for the tutorial! I used this to make a journal for my sister for Christmas! It was super helpful and clear!!
I love this!! I love it when you take us along on a making video. I have to give this a try. My two oldest are leaving home in the next few months. It rips my heart out to see them go so far but I am so excited for their new adventures. Both have requested copies of their favorite recipes that I make for them. I think I will make them each one of these little books with hand written copies of those family favorites. ❤️ Thank you for sharing. Your timing was perfect. 🙂
That is a FABULOUS idea! and don't worry about them going - I had a hard time with that - but I have a fabulous time with my adult children now - its amazing! xxx
Great idea, Lucy
And sometimes they move home again! Our daughter and little granddaughter moved back with us after a divorce, and we are all just so happy with this arrangement! I’m a much better granny than I ever was as a mum!
Oh my gosh!!!! I am obsessed with this! So wonderful! Thank you!!!!!!!
Great video made extra special seeing and hearing your cats😀😍
So clever ! I have guest coming soon so I will give this a go and have a few gifts to give them! Your book is beautiful !! Your videos are always a treat to watch thank you Kate! Have a wonderful day!
Good evening 🤗 I dare say you are The Best Copic Binding Teacher I've run across Thank you for Sharing this Video I now know that I can make one easier enjoy your week ahead ☺️🌹💌📚🦄🤗❣️❣️
So enjoyable to watch. Thank you taking time out of your day for our viewing pleasure x
Great tutorial, thanks Kate. I've repatriated 2 street cats. A year down the track and they now assist with all my craft endeavours, leaving little hairy blessings on everything. Makes me smile seeing your cats doing the same.
I can’t imagine life without furry help and hairy blessings! I also find the odd whiskers! (Which I keep!) we are truly blessed to share our lives with such special creatures. Enjoy!
thank you, Kate, love it, love making notebooks/journals as presents, so you have given me another way of binding them :) and your helpers where so wonderful too, Have a beautiful week x x
I have watched again and completed my second book today. This takes practice and I broke my waxed floss twice and pulled too hard and ripped a hole. But this is my book and I'm learning. I will be making another now and hopefully I've got it now. This is fun to do and so satisfying using up bits and scraps that would otherwise go in the garbage. Thanks Kate for this tutorial.
So now you've inspired me to try my hand at a Coptic-bound book, Kate! From the scrapbooking craze I have loads of fine papers which would make wonderful little book covers. I'll give it a go after finishing my latest quilt (for grandchild #8, Danielle, in pinks and reds)!
I enjoyed watching that book making, I found the whole video very relaxing, thank you Kate.
You’re an excellent teacher, Kate☺️🇦🇺
I absolutely love this and will be trying it for myself very soon. How I appreciate the gift of your time, knowledge, and talents. Thank you, Kate ❤️
Wow Kate, I'vw only just found your tutorIals (2024) and have really enjoyed this one on book binding. I will have to catch up on your many past tutorials. Many thanks
Thank you so much for showing how you punched your holes! That is a huge help!
This is quite a labor if love! Thanks for sharing. As an art major I've made some books in the past BUT this type of binding is exceptional and shows it's HAND MADE. Thanks!
This is perfect! A tremendous job of explaining and showing the process. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to share this, I am going to use your tutorial to bind my first book later today 🙏🏻
So brilliantly explained and Kate you are so very generous with all your hints and tips. A new craft I will definitely be trying. Thank you so much.
I’m sooooo glad you decided to make this tutorial after all! I’ve seen these types of books in book stores and always admired them. Now with your help, I’m going to try my hand at making one or two for myself....👍🏻👵🏻
Thank you for sharing this video. I have had a go in the past at stitching a book without guidance, so it is nice to see it done properly.
Hi Kate after watching this video 3 or 4 times (I was fascinated by these books) I finally had a go - success. Such clear instructions. I did stop and start lots but it was worth it. Thank you. It got the cogs whirring and I had fun. I will definitely be making more of these books x
Thank you so much! I have made books using some of my own painted papers and added embroidery to them. You have inspired me to make more!!!! The would be perfect gifts for next Christmas!!!! You are the best!!!!
That was brilliant! Fascinating!
Thank you so much for this fantastic tutorial. I have been putting off making this type of book but you have shown us how to accomplish this without a lot of fuss.
Thank you. Excellent. I have been thinking of making some for Christmas gifts. ❤
Oh Kate , thank you thank you for your time and knowledge. I will give it a go I love the idea. It’s all about the paper you use inside too. 🇨🇦
I've never tried bookmaking but have wanted to for years. This is the first online tutorial I think I could actually follow and be successful if I have the patience. Thank you!
Thank you Kate! This was brilliant! I just have to try this when I have the time.
Great tutorial, and that book is beautiful! And I just love Norma - right under your hands!
Thank you so much for this. Clear instructions and at a very manageable speed. I finally get it!
Yay!! I've done it! Bound my first Coptic binding....Excellent! Thanks for the direction Kate....it worked fine...a wee bit wonky but that will improve with practice. I love how the pages lie so flat!!!
It was fantastic Kate. You are so amazing with all the different crafts you have knowledge of. So lovely spending Sunday afternoon with you while I sew my hexies and watch you and your gorgeous cats 🐈. Watching from Sydney, Australia. 🌺
Absolutely brilliant as always Thanks for all your hard work Kate
I love this book making video. Thank you Kate for explaining it so clearly.take care Sue
Thank you! I loved this. I look forward to trying this. I discovered your channel a while ago, but have gone back to the beginning to watch every episode in order.
Thanks so much for teaching me something new. You make it easy to follow, and I can’t wait to try out this new art.😺
Loving your life!! Your instructions are great. I really like this form of binding. Never heard of it until you. So I will use it next book. Thanks for being out there for us. Charlie Valoure ( my 16 yr old Tom) says hi to your lady kitties.
Hi Charlie! post and tag me on insta if you have it! xxx
Thank uou for your clear directions..I am hoping to make these for birthday gifts next year..I love your cat
Thank you!!! I can’t wait to make a library of fanciful books to fill!💖💐💖
Thank you so much. You make these projects easy to follow.
Good morning from Calgary, Terrific tutorial 💕 I learned so much, Thank you Kate! Enjoy your week!
Kate, thank you for your tutorial for your coptic book! so pretty and makes a great gift! Tudtudotu - Sandi Myer
I just finished my first book! I had half an inch of thread left.😮 and rather sore fingers but thanks to a very tiny crochet hook I was able to secure the ends. I have more books in waiting (I ran out of glue sticks and paper). Stellar tutorial!!! Thank you, Kate!!!!!
Thank you!!! Good save with the thread!!! Xxx
This is a most informative tutorial, Kate. I'd like to try this very soon and perhaps share the process in the craft classes I teach. I'm sure you won't mind if I share it; sharing is what it's all about in the crafting world isn't it! Thanks so much.
Such a well made tutorial. Thanks, Kate!
thank you so much! xxx
best tut for this i've seen so far. thanks.
This was so helpful and soothing. I'm trying to put together a class on Coptic binding so it was great info. I'll add you to my resources.
