This set of three handstitched notebooks — Marks, Words, Thoughts — A gentle nudge to pause, reflect, and create.- Each cover is typed on my vintage typewriter, Dorothy, onto handmade cotton rag paper that has been made from recycled t-shirt industry waste. The soft, natural off-white paper has a beautifully textured feel - you can see the imprint of the woollen blankets that the sheets are pressed between. A beautiful deckled edge to the covers gives each notebook a touch of timeless imperfection.
Hand-stitched with strong linen thread and tied with a length of recycled silk sari ribbon, Inside, you’ll find thick recycled cartridge paper — perfect for writing, sketching, or playful creative exploration.

Materials
The cover of your personalised notebook will be individually typed on beautifully textured handmade cotton paper that has been made from textile industry waste - it has a lovely deckled edge - this beautiful feathery edge forms where the paper pulp seeps under the ‘deckle’ [the frame used in paper making
The pages inside are made of 140gsm (that’s lovely and thick) recycled cartridge paper that has been made from 100% UK Post consumer waste ( You know, the stuff you chuck in your paper recycling bin)
Energy
The power to type your notebook comes only from my nimble fingers. They are fuelled by tea and biscuits and the rest of my studio is powered by the sun
Everything I do at Blue Stiggy HQ is put through the lens of trying to do my best to minimise my impact on the planet. You can find more detailed information about the materials and processes I use and how I try to minimise my impact on the planet here
