Making a Leather Field Notebook Cover

In this project video, I show you how to make a simple leather notebook cover for a Field Notes notebook cover.
This is a great entry level project and a great gift idea project. I make this cover out of 3/4 oz leather with minimal hand stitching. It's also a great use of scrap leather you may have laying around your shop.
We do offer a pattern pack for making one of these notebook covers. The pattern pack includes the cut patterns as well as 6 different floral patterns.
If you would like to purchase one, use the links below. We offer it in either a digital download that you print on your own printer, or a printed version that we mail out to you.
PRINTED VERSION: shop.dgsaddlery.com/products/...
DIGITAL VERSION: shop.dgsaddlery.com/products/...
I got my thread, needles, and the Field Notes notebook from: makersleathersupply.com/
Here is a link to the video we did showing how to stitch leather with an awl and two needles: dgsaddlery.com/hand-stitching...

    I’m new to leather working. I purchased your field notes pattern pack and my wife asked why most leather patterns are floral and flowers.

    I like seeing you stitch real time.I don’t see it in to many videos, it gave me a perspective on how fast or slow I am in reality.

    Thank you Don. Your video tutorials are top notch my friend! Might check out Holtz leather. They have a field notes book they call the Brand Book. Has a longhorn on it. Bit of a more western theme to it. They're 48 pages, lined, 3 for $8.

    Did you make your stamp holder or is it bought? I’m looking for something like that. Great job on the project.

    How do you get such good color out of that leather??? You don't seem to be worried about sticking a needle through the thread in the middle of the stitch. Any trick here?

    Could you not sew this on your class 4? I plan on using my class 26 but I'll try it on scraps first. I hate adjusting the tension.

    Heck, I can't even draw on paper like that let alone the leather. Not my strength for sure.
