I had to modify it a bit because I did not find any suitable felt and had to try something different (it worked out fine although I had to add a lining) and I wanted something for additional pens too..... anyway, it is basically still your pattern and the measurements worked fine for the Belmont, too.

It still look as good as it did when I bought it, and is the main reason why I've resisted various temptations to 'upgrade'! It was replaced, I think, by the Kendal, but it's perfect for me. <br /><br />I can carry a personal size Filo, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-62761885282419619412011-06-27T02:14:01.483-04:002011-06-27T02:14:01.483-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-55973571764006369332011-06-26T13:13:39.341-04:002011-06-26T13:13:39.341-04:00juliet.lima & Saffy: Thank you both for the qu...juliet.lima & Saffy: Thank you both for the quick responses.<br /><br />Juliet: I like you idea to "write only on the right hand side and turn pages over when finished".

It's very hard to know for sure before you start using one, exactly which size will suit you best. That's probably why most of us end up with more than one filofax - we had to try a few before we found the perfect juliet.lima1022https://www.blogger.com/profile/16497107806920279076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-42928515690678266862011-06-26T04:42:11.546-04:002011-06-26T04:42:11.546-04:00Hi, Thomas - great interview!

I'm trying to decide between a black Finsbury Slimline and a black Finsbury Personal [although, I have my eye on the Malden Ochre]. Unfortunately, I do not live in an area where I can go and look and feel the FF.

I looked at your cover for it, and the sewing plan to make it, but didn't look for very long at your Filofax at the London meet up. <br />It was great to meet you and to read a spolight post from a Philofaxy chap.Butanbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467585464165082007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-87302192241227887662011-06-25T13:26:09.233-04:002011-06-25T13:26:09.233-04:00Great interview Thomas!

It's always great to hear about the readers, but in my opinion, the Philofaxy men especially, since it seems the female population heavily outweighs the male. Male usage and collection of the Filofax seems to be a bit different from the ladies' (generally speaking), and so I always enjoy reading about it. But I love reading about anyone's Filofax WellPlannedLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14639851771653623399noreply@blogger.com
