The idea from Hannelore from Berlin:
I would like to have a cover for my calendar in the dimensions (closed) 25 cm by 16 cm. Open: 33.5 cm by 16 cm. The calendar has a back height of about 1.5 cm. The cover should be stable enough to carry itself. The calendar should be held by means of slide-in compartments (see video). The inside of the cover should be separated by an intermediate page so that there is a separate compartment next to the calendar (see video). I can well imagine leather as material.

since I was on the way I hold only now my new calendar cover in the hands and have also immediately equipped it.
I am very satisfied. The realization corresponded exactly to our agreements, the suggestions of Fatma during the realization of the project were very good. Now I have a noble looking, very well and cleanly processed and accurately fitting cover made of leather and enriched with a great fabric.
And in addition a beautiful bag from the fabric, with which the calendar cover was processed inside

Dear Fatma,
I think your suggestion is good.
I don't know anything about leather.
Is it light and soft? – that would be nice

Dear Hannelore
Greetings, how are you? I would like to request that you share the size of the calendar that will go into the item we are making? A standard size like A4, or A5? Why I am saying this is that when we follow the measurements you have stated it doesn't work out. The closed and the open dimensions don't work. 25 when closed should be 50 when opened.
Please clarify.

Dear Fatma,
yeah, I actually wrote it down wrong here, sorry.
the calendars are approx. A5 format, vary a bit and are sometimes a bit bigger. the current calendar is 23,5cm high. closed it is 13,5cm and open 27cm, plus the thickness of approx. 1,5cm.
So the cover should be slightly larger.
i hope this is right, sorry for the confusion.
kind regards hannelore

Dear Hannelore
Greetings, trust well. I decided to make a sample to see how it all works out. See the pictures I have sent. I noticed that there is challenge with centre flaps if it made for either leather or PU. It is very stiff. So I have included some pictures where I have used a black and white African print as an idea. This will make the inner cover a little more softer for inner cover.
Please see pictures and advise me if I should do PU inside or African print. Please note the outside is pure leather the inside flap is not.
I wait to hear from you.
