This turned out great! The caramel leather is absolutely gorgeous! And I love the holes to hold the pens. I will definitely be using that feature in the future. I think this is the first pouch I've seen made for a journal; most are covers the book slips into. Well done!
I like and prefer the green thread. It goes well with the coloring of the map, and it creates a nice and subtle contrast to the leather that still works well.
Looks good! putting the knot in the thread on the inside of the book rather than out on the exposed spine will protect it from rubbing and make it more durable. Also, lining it with a polyester fabric will enable the booklet to slide in and out more easily. But it’s going to age and patinate beautifully!
Glad you like it! It's a water based glue that I had lying around for leatherwork... there wasn't much information on the pot about what it was exactly but I would guess some kind of PVA glue.

I dig it!
I'm convinced, I will be doing this in the future, just have to find myself some maps...
Yes the green was a good Choice normally don’t like green but this color of green it’s like antique and I love it . Absolutely beautiful I love it.
21:22 the green looks good to me, fitting with the theme as you say. But I reckon it will look even better when the leather patina gets going.
Thanks! Yeah should be interesting to watch this one age :D
Nice 👌🏻job what glue do you use
