Making a Leather Journal Cover
Every year we like to make a new leather journal cover to hold our yearly sketch books and planners. This year we made a leather journal cover by hand using a very nice vegetable tanned leather from the Hermann Oak Tannery called Old World Harness. It is hot stuffed with oils and absolutely beautiful - it makes a wonderful journal cover. the handmade leather journal cover is sewn by hand using waxed polyester thread, burnished with bees wax, and finished with a polishing rag.
This leather journal cover design is cool because it's got a nice little pull tab that is two layers, so it's not flimsy to slide into the tab to hold the leather journal closed. It's faily simple to size this leather journal design to any sized journal by wrapping leather around the journal when it is closed, and taking a measurement - add about 1/2" on all sides to allow for a seam tolerance whether you are sewing by hand or on a sewing machine, and then enjoy your leather journal cover!

Thank you for making videos where the amount of communication is greater than the number of words.

the art of writing in a notebook has been lost with the age of the computer and though I wish I could say it wasn't so with me it is. If i did however still partake in writing in a journal for my short stories or novellas I would love to be able to say that the book i held so dear was written in such a wonderfully designed coverlet. you are a true craftsperson and this is fabulous work.

When she was making that scribe around the whole cover and she was anchoring her hand with the pinkie, she was really enjoying herself. That was such a stylized technique. Even the fundamentals can have a subjective delivery that makes how it is done unique.

S Cherry that is ridiculous. You think is everyone was suddenly vegetarian the world would be perfect. That isn’t true and would never happen. As well as - SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME we have eaten animals for sustenance and respectfully used their skins and organs for a large number of things. You can take your ignorance somewhere else.

S Cherry it kick cats moron, do your research. As I sit here on a sheep skin with a cup a steaming hot coffee in a authentic horn mug petting my cat (that I of course just finished kicking) and wondering which pair of leather shoes I’m going to wear out in the rain, I am unbothered.

This is the first video I have watched of yours and loved the content and the ease you show in completing such detail work. Currently I am looking at making my own sketchbook cover, I have never worked with leather and therefor a very new beginner. My question is, what is a good thickness and type of leather for making a sketchbook cover?

@luxiolooma 4 года назад

Literally SAME! I was looking up videos on how to make a sketchbook or sketchbook cover and this showed up in my recommended. So pleased.

@rodneyhamilton1869 4 года назад

Thank you for your most instructional videos. You have given me the courage to try to make one for a journal I.ve been writing. A question: How suitable do you think it would be to use leather recycled from the seats of luxury cars? I was at the autowreckers and spied a fabulour shade of maroon which I would like to use. Thank you for your response.

Hi. Watched you stitching and I have never seen it done that way before. I've always clamped and used both hands saddlestitching across the piece. I couldn't make out if it was the same saddlestitch I get ysing tge clamped two handed, but I would like to learn the method you used. Rod Savage, Cyprus 6th October 2019

@ksi6044 5 лет назад

Amazing work and really nice to see your detailing. Few questions would like to ask u 1. What leather is used by u. It must be veg tan but is there any specific to look for 2. I'm new into to leather so how come your stitching so uniform ,when I do it's not so neat. Any tips pls 3.why you not done burnishing / edge paint

@robertbeckman2054 4 года назад

1) I'd guess it's either a lighter "Portofino" or a "Montana" leather (these are the Tandy terms, which I don't know it they are universal). 1&3) It's most-likely a chrome-tanned leather, which is difficult to burnish, but also gives a better "natural-cut" look, IMHO. 2) After some experimenting with stitching, he's using the "double-stitch" method. What makes the stitching uniform is in how you bring the "back-side" stitch back through to the front. Think of the front stitch as pushing through the "first" needle through the next hole. The "back-stitch" is using the other needle to carefully push the thread back through that same hole that just had stitching pushed through it by the first needle. The key here is when bringing the back-stitch through, always push it through the SAME side: either always to the left of the stitch that's already in the hole or always to the right...that's when you can see the benefit of a uniform stitch, or in this case a double-stitch. Hope this helps.

Love your videos! I'm an amateur leatherworker and often make things for friends and family. Do you mind me asking what leather you used? Looks so supple and easy to cut. P.S. Have used masking tape and Kleenex often as Bandaids.
