Nice video, Lemon. To make work much easier I would recommend to use a special tool to make holes for stitching. It looks like a rolling wheel with needles and handler. You roll it over thin leather\fabric and it makes straight line of holes for your needle.

Something that I've always wondered is if there's a way to make this for journals/sketchbooks with an elastic band on it? I've got some old Moleskine-like sketchbooks and some perfect-bound notebooks that I've always wanted to put some slip-on book covers, but the elastic band always seemed to be awkwardly in the way...

Hi, i like your channel and this project is just what i need to make a book cover for my board game rule books. The only difference is is that its not a hardcover. Does anybody think it wil be a problem? The way i see it is that it will work if i put the flaps closer to the center of the book wehn folding it over. Maybe even inserting a cardboard in there to make it sturdier.

I have made a similar cover with the help of this awesome video. Really helpful, but I wanted a cheaper alternative to leather, so I used a very old pair of jeans. I wanted to include the seam so it would go over the cover, but I didn't consider that one part of the jeans was, how do I put it, "wider". This means I have a litte too much fabric on the top of the book than on the botton. The cover would wrinkle if I tried to correct this. So I just cut out a triangle shape and sewed this togerther. For the top and bottom, I didn't sew the edges, but burned them because I like the look of it. Edit: If you want to turn the fabric inside out so the seam won't be visible, remember to add a little fabric on each side.

I want to make a tutorial request. I found someone make a DIY project where they turned an old hardbound book into an artist's sketch case. (It's the cover of a large leatherbound tome, with a briefcase type handle, and inside is a sketch pad on the inner right cover, and pockets for paint and garter straps for brushes on the inner left cover.) The outcome, I think was really creative. But in terms of quality, she just did hot glue and I'm pretty sure that's going to fall off very easily. Hope you could make your own version because I think you would make a better version.

Hey hey question from SC haha I’m def not the kind of guy who does “arts and crafts” 🤨😂but here lately I have gotten into rebinding my Bible and when I did it , idk enjoyed the mess out of it ! That being said recovering something w Real Leather vs Faux is like night and day.. and being Faux is not porous it took me a while to realize while there’s a lot of adhesives for real leather ones that I can easily do like rounded corners and pleats w PVA works good but it DOES NOT work on Faux so I can’t make the pleats before the glue is hardened or just isn’t easy as the real thing BUT THIS STUFF YOU HAVE LOOKS LIKE SUEDE ON THE INISE AND ALMOST REAL LEATHER BUT U SAID ITS NOT AT THE BEGINNING I BELIEVE?? Could you use a PVA on this peice of material you have dear ? I appreciate any feedback and thanks again take care !

I’m wondering though, aside from using leather, is there another material I could I coude to the rotent the book; it’s cover is very delicate and I’m concerned it won’t survive outing it in the sleeve. Form searching online, I found mention of acid free paper and ph neutral something else and I’m just trying to figure out how much stuff I should actually do to my book.

Hi, I've got a question. Sorry for my english, I'm from Germany ;-) I tried to make a Leather Book cover for a coptic stitch book. I took artificial leather. Everything went wonderful. The cover turned out very nice BUT it was not possible to close the book when it had been slipped into the cover. I did everything the same as you in the video. Did you add some inches for the spine area? I think my cover became to tight. Do you know what I mean?
@SeaLemonDIY
9 жыл бұрын
Thies Keuser the stitching on the flaps might have made the spine area a tiny bit smaller, I'm not sure. I had something similar on another coptic stitch book and I think it's more likely to happen on that type of binding rather than a case bound book. I think because the spine doesn't move with the cover on case bound books (like the larger book in this video). For your book, you could try tapping the edge of the book on a table, so the cover fits on more and the covers might lay flat. Hope that helps!
@thike7785
9 жыл бұрын
***** Thx Jennifer, I think I've found my fault. The spine area is too tight because, as I measured the "right" size of the piece of leather, I put the open book on to the material. So the two covers were together at the spine area. Next time I measure the first cover first, than turning around so the book stands on the spine and than flapping the second cover to the right side. I hope it will help.
