What is Alpha Binding?
Alpha binding is a creative variation of the long-stitch method where the text block is hand-sewn to leather, leaving the spine beautifully exposed. This sewing style creates an elegant, continuing “α” pattern along the book’s spine. Its durability and aesthetic appeal make it perfect for crafting journals that are both functional and artistic.
This tutorial is an excellent starting point for beginners, offering clear step-by-step guidance to create your own A5-sized leather-bound journal.
