Making a Leather Field Notes Cover - (Start to Finish).
Designed to also hold a Passport and Moleskin (see the end of the video for examples).
Also, stayed tuned toward the end of the video for a fun little field trip!
Why not, right?

The best resource for starting the leatherworking process:
Zach over at Zeebee Leather has posted the two best articles I’ve seen for beginning leather crafters. And to be honest, even seasoned crafters will find useful information they hadn’t thought of.

That double use of rulers blew my mind. Its so simple and effective and keeping things square. Gonna steal that trick!

I commented on one of your other videos recently. I am starting my leather making journey later in life. At 54 I am a Desert Storm Veteran with PTSD and I am thinking that leather working would keep my brain and hands occupied. I have been making paracord for about 7 years now and while it is fun, it is just not interesting anymore. I also do coin roll hunting but that gets very overwhelming sometimes when looking for errors. I also think it would be a great way to make personal items and gifts (for family and VFW family). Thanks for the great videos. I will be watching more.

Thanks for sharing such a great video. I swear, they just keep getting better. I really loved seeing Cloe and also how you reheat your coffee. The angles you shoot when you were edge beveling close up were sweeeeet. I am so glad to see you sharing knowledge and greatly appreciate the time you take to make these videos, mistakes an all. Looking forward to your next episode. I want to make one of your "Stitching Stallions" (it reminds me of a Gypsy Vanner horse.) too. :)

Chloe needs a white hard hat and a clip board for those daily safety inspections. Obviously I'm not watching them in order but another great video and a product I'd like to try and make down the road. I'm only one tiny minimalist wallet in on my leathercraft hobby. I just wish leather was easier to purchase up here in Canada.
