Follow these step-by-step instructions to create a sketchbook using a modified Swiss binding. This structure offers more flexibility at the spine than a traditional case binding, so the pages lay completely flat. By adding a back pocket, the hardcover can be reused over and over again. Once you’ve filled the book, simply create a new book block and slip it into the back cover pocket. The pattern includes both imperial and metric measurements.

This is a complementary resource to my YouTube tutorial: https://youtu.be/92hs07lsI5c While the tutorial focuses on the kit, the PDF is designed for those starting from scratch.

An email with a download link will be sent to you within an hour after purchase. The link will be available for 24 hours. After 24 hours, click on the expired link and a new one will be sent to you.
