Love making these sketchbooks!
I decided to start small and made this first one 3.5"x5.5" landscape filled with 6 signatures of 140# cold press cotton.The cover is made with heavyweight, double-sided scrapbook paper treated with 2 layers of mod podge. My new crop a dile came in handy for the eyelets (on front cover only). This was a very enjoyable project and I plan on making a larger one next. Thanks Jill!
I've since made a larger 5x8 portrait sketchbook (top photo) filled with 9 signatures, a mixture of 140# cold press and rough cotton. The cover is three layers of scrapbook paper with a napkin decoupaged on front. It fits perfectly in the leather slim A5 notebook cover from Galen Leather. This is getting addictive!
