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.dgsaddler...
DIGITAL VERSION: shop.dgsaddler...
I got my thread, needles, and the Field Notes notebook from: makersleathers...
Here is a link to the video we did showing how to stitch leather with an awl and two needles: dgsaddlery.com...

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.

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.

Sir, you are really an artist, you have a very nice handicraft.

Thanks man. Much needed for a beginner like myself.

Really nice, Don. I am glad I discovered your channel because it is one of the most informative leather channels I’ve come across.

[@rojeliosalazar7713]

Your floral work is beautiful. I'm inspired by you to improve on my floral. Love your channel.

Thanks Don! I love making things like this just to burn up some scraps. Make great Christmas gifts!

[@philochristos]

That's pretty cool. I wish you would do more drawing videos.

Very helpful. Thank you. Is there a video where you show lining it with poster board?

[@SanJuanMountainBob]

Great video - very helpful and detailed. Thanks!

[@curtishawkins4123]

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.

Do you have a pdf file for the size design

[@tinoyb9294]

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?

[@martinstults9419]

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.

[@bobbyroberts5751]

What size thread?

[@TexHoss1]

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