DS-119 The Wanderer Notebook Digital Pattern

The Wanderer is a PDF leather pattern to create a three different size notebook covers that fits two A5, A6 or PA6 size notebooks respectively. This is a beginner skill level leather template that is a stitch-less pattern and features a pen holder again made out of leather. The Wanderer Notebook Cover is what is known as Midori style notebook and is a simple leather cover with an elastic band that holds the notebooks inside and that keeps the cover closed. No stitching or gluing is required and the notebooks are replaced in a matter of seconds. Simplicity is in focus in this everlasting design with the option to also make a pen holder weaved into the elastic band. You can also offer only the cover to your customers without the pen holder which makes the build even quicker. Combining the leather used and the elastic band color would be key in this build in my opinion, but I have also seen creatively tooled and stamped covers that elevate the design to the next level. The download also includes step-by-step assembly instructions with pictures on how to make the cover, the pen holder and how to install the elastic band, which you can also apply to similar covers with other dimensions. Have fun making The Wanderer Notebook Covers!
