Leather Selection Suggestions
In this video we used an 4.5oz/5.25oz oil tan leather called “Crazy Horse Leather” from Acadia Leather. This design is pretty flexible with the type and thickness of leather you can use. I would suggest up to 8oz for the body pieces.

Where do you get the paper refills for the Midori Passport Size? 3-1/2 x 5-1/2″ don’t work of course. I think I need 3 x 5″??
Do you have or sell waxed thread .08 mm?
Just wanted to say thank you for sharing this bag pattern.
I’ve made my version with some adjustments and it turned out to be a really great bag.
Keep up with the good work, and thanks again!
Awesome! I love hearing about custom modifications thanks for trying it out.
