    I have tried the flap in one piece with the back idea but found it didn't roll up very neatly so I went to the separate (slightly smaller) flap.
    Love the fabric choices!!

    Good eye! I sat and thought awhile and came up with this version to see how it worked when in use. Next version will be the separate flap like yours.

    That looks very sophisticated & precious. I like that fabric you used for the pen slots! This would look great with leather. Where'd you get that?

    "What are moon-letters?" asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also loved runes and letters, and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.

    Those two fabrics are made by Hoffman in 100% cotton, mostly sold to quilters. You can probably find them online as well.
