I was playing with longstitches again and this is the result.
I am particularly happy with the grey one, everything worked perfectly and the combination of materials and proportions etc, just made a wonderful book. The black one has some marks on the leather so the end result wasn't quite as satisfying, although the binding itself is quite nice.

Love those books.. I've been doing some coptic binding, but have never found leather cheap enough to make a journal. Those are beautiful!
Hi, congratulations for your work, it´s beautiful! could you please tell me what´s the name of this kind of bookbinding and if there´s a online tutorial, I am trying to find but I only found the a coptic tutorial. Thank you very much ! =)
There is a list of several longstitch resources at etsybooks.blogspot.com
And I think this one is specifically the sewing that I used for these books en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Bookbinding
