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! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Thank you for making videos where the amount of communication is greater than the number of words.
Thank you for not putting any annoying background music, thank you thank you for your craft 🙏🏽
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.
Amazing work. You make it look absolutely Effortless.....yet the craftmanship shines through.
4:53 i accidentally fell asleep whilst watching this video (cuz it's so soothing) and at that moment, i thought someone was knocking at my door and i instantly woke up
Absolutely mesmerizing. Wonderful work.
Great design. I need to make one of these now! Your creativity never ceases to amaze me. Cheers!
It looks really pretty! I'm impressed.
Absolutely love this video. Thank you!
Amazing! It really makes you want to do it yourself!
BEST notebook video ever! Great job fellow New Englander! 🤩
The most therapeutic video. Beautiful
Beautiful! Fantastic job! 👏👏👏
Well done. Thanks for putting it up.
Marvelous job!! I wish I could have one!! 😮
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.
She?
@@marsbeads OK, them/they!! Shim?
@@Anarchy-Is-Liberty What? I'm just saying that's a dude in the video.
Nice, simple and practical...perfect 👍
Very well done thank you for taking the time to create such a good video
So satisfying to watch
Wow. This is idyllic, very inspirational. Thank you
Good choice of words, miss.
Love it.
Love that the club stamp wasn't washed off prior to making this video. Its not distracting at all. lol!
really beautiful work
Brilliant. Love it.
love it! love supporting fellow youtubers!
Another great piece. Thanks for sharing! Keep working on those templates! I've got to buy some!
Hermoso!! Saludos desde Argentina.
These videos are enjoyable and very useful. I love book covers I remember the day when we would make them out of paper bags. I still enjoy buying giant rolls of heavy brown paper and making book covers. Maybe I'll graduate to leather
Please do. You will love it.
Nice! Been waiting for this one. 😀
Beautiful!
Love it!
So pretty 😍
Beautifully crafted and inspirational. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Спасибо большое за видеоурок. Без слов, все понятно. 🤗👍😊
So beautiful! These videos bring me so much peace!
These type of videos got me into it, they're great hey
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 😱😱😱😱 omggggg piss off troll
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.
S Cherry I DID AND NOW THERE’S BLOOD EVERYWHERE!!!
Parabéns pelo lindo trabalho.
I like the detail on the strap, I think I should add a strap to my pattern, really makes the project stand out 👌
Thank you for this great video! I’m definitely going to try and make one of my own b

I love Weldwood, but I hate it when it drips off the stem. Excellent work again!

I don’t use a stitching pony either. Nice work. Rustic yet classic. Imagine how it will age after we’re gone. That’s the reason, right? Love to you and yours.

Me too lol
Amazing

Que lindo farei um para m hoje
Great work. Like:)
Great video! What kind of camera did you use? And what oz leather and thread was used? Thanks again, we enjoy watching all your videos!!! You make the process look so effortless, a quality of a truly experienced and skillful leathercrafter!!!
What the edge beveler measures you use, for type leather as in that video?
It's beautiful. Can you make a video on making of a clip wallet? I saw a video from another channel on making of a clip wallet but I didn't like it and just thought that Corter does it better.
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
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?
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.
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.
Lol thanking the dude for something he hasn't done🤣
what a talent take me i want a learn i will do everything to learn such a beautiful work art........
Start today, it's a fun hobby
This cutting precision...
Sweet...
What do you do your stich poke pounding on ? Like a rubber mat or something?
Wow. I bought a journal for my husband can you make a cover for it with a lock? And how much
Nice result. Were u doing single stitch or do u go back over in reverse with single needle method? Compare to saddle stitch?
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
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.
@Travis Morgan you need to put your glasses on mate : he is very much a he
Alguém sabe me dizer onde comprar as ferramentas para couros.
Show 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I want to make a mini plant press. Maybe this could be it's cover.
i spy a workshop bandaid. seriously though, nice work. thanks for the video!
no prob! good ol' masking tape and paper towel scrap haha, that's what I get for fist bumping the electric sander 😬
Nice
nice hobby
I just started leather crafting, and love this video. Can you please share the size of the chisels used for this journal. Are they 5mm or 4mm or 3mm? I am trying my hands to make a similar journal but uncertain to what size I should get.
The weaver leather ones shown are different color for every size set, not sure what size but go to their website and get the blue band ones
This looks incredible! I'm wondering if this would be pretty similar techniques for vegan leather?
Rasome Awesome I’ve found vegan leather performs differently than actual leather. I haven’t tried it for this particular project but I have with others and you can’t carve it the same way unfortunately.
Big fan of your work! Currently have 3 Corter pieces on my person. Bracelet, keychain, and a particularly fantastic wallet. Would love to add a notebook cover to my EDC is this a one off or would they be available?
We're happy to make more! Just shoot over an email - might just be a bit of a wait this close to the holiday :)
@@Corter Do you have a pattern you used for this build? If so, is it sold somewhere?
I saw bandage on your finger.....I saw the sharp knife and thought....ouchhhh. Great video by the way!

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.
It looks easy to cut because his tools are sharp. Trust me, you don't want leather which is "easy to cut".
hello sir I m from India ur all accessories r superb👍👌beautiful I want to buy some product can I purchase from u plzzzzzz if yes so plz tell me d process
Great job as always, but where is a penholder?
what is the best brand of edge beveller for thinner leathers?
