Anyway, David Tennant, The Doctor, turns himself soul alongside his trick watch.
He records these foreign infinite traveling dreams inwards this cool journal.
He falls inwards dearest alongside Nurse Redfern in addition to lets her read it.
I decided to recreate it, alongside a couplet changes.
To start, I used this

It is a large 8 past times 10 notebook alongside blank pages.
I received it at no toll inwards central for this review, only let's hold out real,
I would accept easily paid $15 for the notebook for this amazing project!
This is a really high lineament sketchbook!
The newspaper is lxxx lb! It doesn't tear easily, it doesn't exhibit through!
This sketchbook is the BEST. It's fifty-fifty guaranteed!
I had to a greater extent than or less scraps of leather. I made them go past times stitching ii pieces together.
You volition need:
Leather twenty past times 10"
Rotary cutter, ruler in addition to cutting mat
Kam snaps in addition to snap setter
x-acto knife
I cutting a slice of newspaper to brand a pattern.
Then laid upwardly it on the leather in addition to used the ruler in addition to rotary cutter to cutting prissy immediately lines.
I made the joining of the leather on the backside then it's non every bit noticeable.
I used a non slip presser human foot in addition to leather needles...
And to a greater extent than or less cerise thread to stitch the ii pieces of leather together.
Not perfect, only I'm happy!
I used Kam Snaps in addition to added ii snaps to the mass for stability.
The kit comes alongside the setter, snaps in addition to an awl.
Push the awl through the fabric.
Put the ii pieces inwards house in addition to crush alongside the pliers.
Repeat for the other side.

With a slit/button hole on 1 end.
Weave the contrary destination through ii of the slits.
Weave the strip through the push hole on the end...making a lark's caput or girth hitch.
This is how the underside looks.
