Making a Leather Moleskine Cover

The second video of a notebook cover. I kinda like making those :-).
This one has a quite different closure mechanism. Rather than having a strap, it has two penloops one on each side. 2 in 1... closure and a place for a pen.
This cover is meant for A6 Moleskine notebook/calendar.
Materials:
-1.4mm calf leather
-fiebings pro oil dye in dark brown
-fiebings edge kote in dark brown
-beeswax
-0.8mm tiger thread

I have been bending leather for 7 years. Here is what I saw in this video. Proper leather, proper leather treatment, deep care with the craft, proper stitching with proper thread, and an end product that is essentially an heirloom . I make these myself and would not hesitate to buy this craftsman's kit.

[@zareerwadia2787]

I love this idea of the pen holder also becomes the note book lock.

[@tjman4943]

I love the way the double pen loop locks it shut.

[@Carla2637]

The process is so satisfying to see!!❤

[@suree861]

This is something i’ll use my money for. I’ll surely support artists like these after getting a job. This is such a great work, very admirable!

[@hanutamatata]

That "closing mechanism" is awesome, really like the idea. Very nice piece of craftsmanship!

[@KinnariLeather]

inorrx Thank you!

[@AaronSteinPittsburgh]

+inorrx I absolutely agree! That closing mechanism is brilliant. Kinnari Leather your videos are an absolute joy to watch.

[@Nickle314]

Agreed - so simple - very elegant.

[@carolcheny]

[@stewartandrew2520]

Beautiful product. Well done, simple but functional with great style!

[@nkosiakinlabi3135]

Loved the workmanship and especially was delighted at the end when I saw how you did the pen enclosure. Very creative and different.

[@kliqcreatives1379]

the double pen loop is a great idea!

[@Mpactpics]

The extreme close-ups are beautiful and awesome. Great work!

[@silvertwinz]

I just saw this! I am very impressed with what I saw. I hit the like and subscribed. Thanks for taking the time to do this for us. I speak for all of us, we're very happy you did.

[@hexadecimil]

Great video. Cool technique. I like how you used the paper to mask the glue. Elegant solution to a problem I have a lot. Same about marking the swe line with the edge of the piec on the back. And your sticking is beautiful. Dying is really pretty too. Can't say enough about this.

[@JWimpy]

Absolutely beautiful. I would love to own a nice notebook like that.

[@ifithurtskissitbette]

[@sandrapaterson1750]

Very nice

[@Jasa2112]

Amazing job!

[@ryancollyer4501]

What did you rub onto the leather after the initial oil dye was applied. Really amazing outcome.

[@Porthosity]

Absolutely love your videos! I do have one question- I love the "streaks" on the outside cover, are those part of the leather you used? Or did you do something in the dyeing to get that effect? Also, what does the oil/beeswax do for the leather? I'm new to leatherwork, so I'm trying to learn all that I can. Thank you and I can't wait to see your next video!

[@KinnariLeather]

+Anthony Rabattini Hi, the streaks (or wrinkles rather) were already on the leather, but to accommodate them I cloth-dyed the leather. As for the oil/beeswax, it is a bit of treatment to give the leather some nutritions and it is also a nice surface finish.

[@relatetruth]

If this aint the most relaxing video...

[@macdaddy9344]

Beautiful... when you are stitching the seams together, you are not just weaving the thread back and forth but rather actually tying some kind of knot within each hole... am I seeing that correctly?

[@KinnariLeather]

Yes, sometimes I do that. Usually with thinner leathers, as it helps to create the nice zig zag look.

[@icekng456]

great cover

[@rubylopez8559]

Great work! What kind of adhesive/glue do you for glueing the leather?

[@TheManoberry]

5:36 so satisfying

[@ctheart8833]

Please upload all your videos without the background music . Sounds of tools and leather are very soothing to hear . Thank you

[@nkosiakinlabi3135]

at least his music is soothing. I watched another video of someone else and had to turn the sound off. they were playing heavy medal.

[@gerardosantosgarcia3970]

Maravilloso, felicidades. Saludos.

[@macgyver2417]

Craftsman work, Very nice. What kind of thread were u using ? It seemed like it made the stitching smoother.Thanks for the video.

[@KinnariLeather]

Thank you! I've used tiger thread (ritza 25).

[@melodyinsideme]

Can you please tell me whan making leather bag which glue should I use?

[@KinnariLeather]

Thank you! It was beeswax mixed with leatheroil.

[@thekeddi]

Me too? What is the white stuff and what did you seal it with? Awesome video once again!

[@KinnariLeather]

Kerri Hickman It is beeswax blended with leatheroil.

[@mmnar22]

it's very nice 😍😍😍😍😍

[@VsLey34]

Gute Arbeit, wie immer! In welchem Verhältnis mischt du Bienenwachs mit dem Öl?

[@KinnariLeather]

Sam Deer Das mache ich nach gefühl, schwer zu sagen... evtl. 10:1 oder 10:2

[@VsLey34]

Kinnari Leather Danke! Man lernt nie aus, gerade wenn es sich um Arbeiten mit Leder handelt. :O)

[@ditsar4234]

Восторг!!!!!

[@akart7978]

Wow i want this

[@ddcced123]

Can you tell me what the brand name of the edge beveling tool is? It is very sharp and does a wonderful job on your edges.

[@KinnariLeather]

+ddcced123 I used two bevelers actually. The first one is made by Joseph dixon (doesn´exist anymore) and the second one is "Seiwa" from goodsjapan.com
