The second week's journal that I made in Sue Bleiweiss's on-line class is a sketchbook with removable pages. Instead of using a single fabric for the outside of the journal, this sketchbook is made using parts my son's old outgrown and holey jeans. I used lots of pocket portions so that he can keep treasures in them (he is 9 years old). The closure is a snap from an actual pair of jeans. The inside there are lots of pockets for holding pencils and other art supplies. Strips of fabric decorate the outside of the book rings that are used to hold the pages in the sketchbook.
I did muck up and put the holes for the rings in the wrong place. The two outside ones are fine, but the center hole is nowhere near the center. Ooops. The holes are not standard distance apart anyway, they almost have to be made using a single hole punch so it is not a big deal.
