One day in October, I read about the 'artist's moleskine' and had to have one!
I bid on one on eBay and didn't win the auction.
So... I decided to try to create a watercolor sketchbook from scratch.
1. Cover from suede I've had for ages, waiting for a project, from a thrift shop skirt.
2. Pages from cheap watercolor paper my daughter gave me for Christmas last year.
3. A suede strip to bind it.

So, I cut the paper... then created the cover by attaching the suede to two layers of paper with spray adhesive. My dear husband took it to the workshop and drilled the holes for the leather strip to bind all the pages together.
Voila.
I love it.

The little pocket in the back cover is great for pencil, pen, etcThis is the last page. Looks like I need a new one.
