Blank Fabric Sketchbook - Large Cotton

This is a large square blank fabric sketchbook that has a unique folding design that allows you to add your artwork to a pre-made book without leaving any messy workings on the backs of the pages.

Easy to sew into using hand or machine, this book makes it simple to try out different textile art techniques and add decoration to the pages as you go along. This large size gives you the room to explore and tell longer stories. I use this size as a scrapboook/journal of the events I go to, recording memorable photos from each month or occasion.

Each page can be removed from the binding to allow you to sew onto it using any technique, and then enclose the wrong sides within the pages, hiding all of your knots and thread tails. This makes it easy to create your own stitched journal as a keepsake, sketchbook or scrapbook.

The pages are a natural cotton which is a neutral colour and will go with any colour scheme and looks nice if left uncovered in parts. The fabric has an open weave which makes it easy to stitch through. Each page is secured with eyelets and ring bindings and the fabric along the eyelet section has been reinforced with interfacing. As this is a larger book than the others I make, it has 3 sets of binding rings rather than the standard 2, which gives the spine extra stability.

12 blank pages (6 folded sheets).

Each book is made by hand.

Including ring bindings the book measures approx 24cm x 22cm (9.5″ x 8.75″) and the sewing area for each page is 21.5 cm x 21.5cm (8.5″ x 8.5″).

The book has a vinyl title ‘Stitchbook’ on the front cover and a logo on the back. These can be incorporated into the design or covered with fabric or stitching.


This book is also available in linen.

There are other books in this range – the landscape linen version and A5 cotton and mint are smaller in size, and there is also the mini landscape versions in cotton or linen.

How to Use:

1. Pull the binding rings apart and remove one page.
2. Open the page out.
3. Add artwork to the sides facing outwards.
4. When finished, refold and add back onto the binding rings.
5. Close the rings by aligning clasp and pushing together
