TravelersNotebookI
could have cut more for the cosplay, of course. I could also do a mock up for the gig purse I've been thinking about.
Tadaaah!
Some card holders inside and a little money purse thingy. Things I've learned: Use a fitting zipper that's not reused (even with ironing the ends wouldn't be straight…)
Pockets for tickets.
And sitting within my fandom Travelers Notebook to test the size. Thanks to my tendencies for large seam allowances, the finished mockup turned out a little too small. The ticket I used to test the size sat a little too snug.
The zipper could also be more outside, instead of being pressed between notebooks I might want to add.
Stickers!
Of course, I could make the whole Travelers Notebook a little smaller to fit, but I like to keep to 'official' sized in case I'd like to get official inlays. So I'll have to add some more allowances when doing the real thing.
What I plan to use for the pouch is black SnapPap paper and some cloth from an old red umbrella.
The TN itself I'll go looking for sturdy cloth, maybe canvas. Maybe I'll also add more cardholders to the TN, too. I was initially planning to go for cork leather again, but as this shall be a dedicated gig thing, I might add buttons and pins over time and that works better with cloth. Pierce a hole into cork leather and you've got a hole forever.
