Hi! I saw this post almost a year ago and I FINALLY got around to making it! XD
The PDFs were really helpful with getting the right shapes, although I did resize them a bit to fit a 5x8 sketchbook. And instead of using a slipcover, I glued the cardboard straight onto the book. Then I painted it a lighter blue with enamel and then a darker, older looking blue for a more 3d weathered look. I absolutely LOVE the end result. (^_^)
Thanks for that amazing tutorial.

That really looks the part.  Good job!

That looks awesome. Wish I'd thought of enamel as the paint, mine with spray paint has chipped and torn being carried about a bit over the years. I still think of doing another with a leather cover, but haven't had the time. Glad to help in my small way.

Awesome. I'll definitely be using your templates and instructions to make myself one of these!
