How to make a perfect journal, with expanding pocket, front pocket, bookmark, elastic band, etc. Great for journaling, sketching, diaries, notes, studying, gift, etc. Inspired by Moleskine brand large notebooks. Finished dimensions: 8.25" by 5".

Another great thing is that it's way cheaper to make this than going out and buying one of these from the store!
