Easy, Portable Sketch book

Needed a new sketch-book, small enough so I can easily carry it around.  So why buy something, when you can build it yourself ?

The cardboard is solid enough to allow sketching when no hard surface is available.


Thick, leather lacing is used for binding the pages and the cardboard cover. 

Using this sewing style the sketchbook thickness can be whatever you need.
The down side of this build is that once you open it, closing is a little tricky. But this can be turned into a motivation factor for you to draw more.
