Looking For Tutorial For Photo Album Or Notebook Cover?

[OdinUK]

I have been looking for a tutorial or patterns for photo album covers or note book covers but cant seem to find one with the search funcion. Does anybody have any patterns or constructions notes for these.

For photo albums, do you butcher standard ones to get the picture inserts, or can they be bought seperately to be attached to your own cover.

I'd be very grateful for any advice. Thank you.

@Beaverslayer, thanks for that, thats exactly what I'm looking for.

When making covers, is thick card or some kind of then board used to reinforce them?

I've been doing quite a bit of research into making leather photo albums, and this place looks like the best place to get what is needed. You may also want to Google "how to sew book signatures" a signature is the pages used in making books/albums etc.
