little notebooks

[ClayB]

Hi Kevin,

I asked that question to my wife and she said you write things in them you want to keep forever, like a journal. Or put pictures in them, or things like that, not use them for grocery lists etc. You could put new pages in them, but to do that you would have to cut off the binding and do it over.

Glad you liked them.

Another fabulous idea clay, mind if I pinch it a bit, i have a mate just doing an art course, i got him some stuff for chrimbo but the cover to his sketch book is paper..... I intend to change the design a bit and make a pouch on the back for changing the pad (stiff card can be inserted) as I don't have a spiral binder machine handy and he goes through sketch pads like they are going out of style.

i will use one sheet of medium thin 2mm veg tan leather with two side flaps and base cover over....

I can't really explain it but it kinda looks like an inverted cross with stubby arms and a pointy bottom, with the pouch being in the middle of the cross point. Or maybe straps and corners.

What to do about fastenings........hmmm

Thanks clayb and wife, inspiration is the greatest gift anyone can be given. Thanks.

Hi Pip,

Your idea sounds great. I hope you share pictures of your cover when you are finished. I have plans to try something like that too, where you could change out the notebook when it is full. So many ideas, so little time.
