HOW TO MAKE

・Finish flesh side of leather and the edge with Tokonole Burnishing Gum.

・Fold back the end of the main body about 7 cm as in the reference image,
and paste only both ends together so that it becomes pocket-shaped.

・Keep the loop part about 12 cm away from the side as in the reference image, and paste only both ends.

・Paste the bookmark part on one side only if you like.
（ Please cut the bookmark to the desired length and use it. ）

・Sew both ends (top and bottom) of the main body so that each part glued in the previous step will be fixed.
（If the stitch position is too much to the inside, it will be difficult to fit the book into it,
so stitch to within 3 mm from the side as a guide.）

・Once you insert the cover of your favorite book and shape it, it is completed.
