#midori notebook

Wips for this project, plus the finished insides side by side.

I made some midori-style notebooks yesterday while visiting with my friend miss @vidrig​ (who helped with some cutting and stitching too<3) in her home/workshop. It was fun and easy, but my hands looked pretty much like they always do.

Hand-tooled and dyed leather, elastic cord, plus some bits of old couch leather for the insides.

Edited to add: I found a store with some fauxdoris of the kind that inspired this project! It’s Chick Sparrow (x) and they have beautiful stuff. If you want to buy one, go there.
