Full instructions for the regular size Traveler's Notebook folder, plus you won't want to miss the formula & dimensions for any and all of the other sizes. I have found that I realistically don't use more than 2 pockets functionally at a time, so this one is perfect!
*I forgot to mention the option to slit the top of the pocket sides if you'd like. Also, the paper dimensions for the wide TN are 11"W x 12"H.
so nice to see someone NOT using all sorts of fancy machines and devices. Your way of explaining the size and form was very easy understandable...Now I feel like I can make a pocket folder :)
Thank you so much for a post that didn't ramble about your personal life before you started in on the folder. Also, thank you for being concise and to the point during the video. It's so hard to find on YT. This was extremely helpful and now I'm off to make some folders. Also, your speaking voice volume was perfect - you weren't loud or too soft. You also didn't have that horrible buzzing of background noise I sometimes hear, too. It was honestly a pleasure to watch your tutorial.
+Carinae L'étoile Wow, your kind comments made my whole day! I appreciate them so much. And you are very welcome!
I had watched a few different videos on making these folders and yours by far was the easiest to understand. I also thank you for listing the different sizes and formula to make any size we want.
omg soooo happy to find a tutorial that uses 12x12!!! And yay for simple tutorials!! Ive been wanting to make folders forever, and have been intimidated by the other tutorials! Many thanks.
Thanks for the gret tutorial and making it easy to understand. Bit of a TN Newbie here :)
Fantastic and easy tutorial to follow-thanks so much!! I especially love the formula you came up with❤️
Thank you for this video! I love how perfect and simple your instructions are.
I’m going to plug thes dimensions into my Cricut. Thank you for the tutorial.
Loved the tutorial for the T. N. two pocket folder. You made it so clear! Thanks!
Incredible. All my questions answered in one place on dimensions and how-to DIY pocket insert. Thanks so much!
Great tutorial! I was so intimidated by folders but this made it so easy. Thank you!
Great tutorial. Thanks so much for your very clear instructions. 😊
Thank you! I really enjoyed the simplicity of this video! Very helpful!
This is an amazing video. Thank you. Such clear instructions and they work! I'll be making a few of these now.
Going by your formula the pocket size becomes a little screwy. At the end you mentioned for pocket it should be 8.5in for height and 7.5 for width. The inserts for a pocket are usually 3.5 x 5.5. So from the sides if we are folding in .5in from each side then that would leave the final width at 6.5 which would make the folder a width of 3.25 when closed; slightly smaller than normal inserts. Also, for the height, if you want it 5.5in tall, matching the other inserts, then just add 3in to that in length and that 3in is what you will fold up to make your pockets. In the middle it was mentioned that for the pockets we would fold have the length of the given measurements at the end but half of 8.5 is 4.25 giving a really large pocket and also the folder becomes much smaller than the 5.5in for FN insert, so it would actually be a 3in fold instead of exactly half like the regular size. Completed it will give you the 3.5x5.5 insert needed for pocket size. 😃 I guess the regular size all the numbers just work out easier. Anyway, your videos are great bc I love the detail.... this comment is for those who try making the pocket size folder.
This is by far the easiest to follow DIY TN folder tutorial. Tfs.
Thank-you for this video! You did a great job explaining and showing us.
Thank you for this video! This was easily understood and it doesn't take a lot of materials to do it!
This is super easy to follow thank you for the dimensions!!!
Just found your channel and love the video. Super helpful and easy to follow! Thanks and can't wait to look around !
Thanks for actually showing us how to put a travelers notebook together and showing us how to decorate the planner. Everyone shows their planner, but no one shows how to decorate, for Beginners! I will be using my new Cricut for other parts of the planner! Thank you!
I made 2 of these tonight and they were so easy and very pretty thank you for this video
Very well done. Clear and concise. Thank you!
Great tutorial! This is exactly what I was looking for ~ thanks for sharing with us, I appreciate how thorough you were. , thank you ☺
I love this! Recently I found some beautiful (one-sided) 12x12 paper but I wasn't sure what to do with it. I wanted to make a traveler's notebook but wasn't sure how I wanted to do it so this is perfect thank you. :)
such a great and thorough video!! Thank you for making this!
Wow. Amazing! Thanks for sharing! Can’t wait to make my own. 😀
Thanks for this tutorial. Very easy to follow!!! I wanted to make some some folder pockets for my ring-bound planners! But couldn't find ones that were rather easy to make. I appreciate your sharing this video with us. If I do make one (or more), I will more than likely laminate mine. I would want it to me more durable and last longer. Again thanks so very much!!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Your instructions were clear and easy to follow ..... so much so that I made 2 folders right away and they turned out great! I made Field Note size ones this time and I am happy to know that if I decide to go back to another size TN, I will be able to easily make folders for any size with your formula! Thanks!
+sheapup You're welcome! I'm excited they turned out well and that my formula helped. :)
Thank you so much for making this much easier for me to follow! I made my first folder!! Thank you thank you!
I see that this video was done in 2015 and i have just now found you and subscribed, but wanted to say before I leave this page to find more .....You are an awesome teacher!!! thank you
Fabulous tutorial. Thank you so much!
Thank you . This was soo easy to follow . Best video on folders I’ve seen .
Great Video! I appreciate your detailed instructions and the fact you point out what is most important to follow and where the individual can customize. Your camera presence continues to become more relaxed and conversational. Well done.
+Larry Stoecker Thank you so much! And I appreciate you saying that - I'm actually quite introverted and shy in real life, so it makes me feel good that you are seeing progress. I am trying! :)
Terrific easy peasy tutorial!
Thank you for clearing up those measurements. I'll be trying these soon. Your video was very helpful.😃
+Kimberly Howard Glad to help! It can be quite confusing. I appreciate when someone shares everything since I'm such a detail person, so I try to do the same.
GREAT tutorial! And I love the Reset Girl stickers! :)
Been scouring KZhead for the other channel, what a disappointment that it's been deleted! Thanks for posting this tutorial!!!
+WackyLu You're welcome. It takes a certain mindset to put yourself out there on KZhead, so I respect her decision. Her wonderful videos are sorely missed, though!
Thank you for this! It’s Feb 2019. Love it!
Thanks for showing this tutorial seems super easy x
thank you!! love it!! been wanting to make one!!
This is a great video for beginners! I didn't think I was going to be able to do it but your instructions were great an I now have several lovely folders!!!
+Norma Villarreal So exciting! I'm not too crafty, either, so I'm glad this helped you as well. :)
Thanks for this video. I learned how to make pockets from her and miss her videos a lot. I learned so much from her!
+TheJazzimum You're welcome. Yes, me too! I wish she would've just left the videos and not deleted everything, but I'm sure she has her reasons.
Thank you so much for making this video! I miss Robyn very much!! You are a SWEETHEART! !!!
+Amy Varrato Aw, you're welcome! I didn't want this fabulous pattern to be lost forever or forget how to do it.
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
This was super-helpful. Thanks so much!
Great tutorial!!! Thank you so much❤️🌺🌸
Awesome tutorial! I just made one of these in like five minutes while watching this video. Thanks!

Thanks! Love this and kids just went to bed so I have my project for tonight :)
Great idea tfs👍
Thank you! I could follow this one!!!
Thank you for this great video! 😊
OMG! THANK YOU, so very much... I truly appreciate your video. 😃
Thank you for sharing this. I just bought one from etsy so I will not be making one just yet. I have the field note size (size folder that I just bought) and plan to make one for my wide one day. So, until then this video will be in my favorites folder. My husband saw my new folder and wondered why I paid for something that can be easily be made so I thank you and my husband thanks you....lol Thank you.
+BlushnBlue Haha no shame! I bought one as well until I found this pattern that was easy & functional to make.
Awesome! Thanks for making this video!
+Jéssica Bouéres You're welcome!
Great tutorial! Particularly appreciated the formula :). Just FYI, I have made quite a few of the 6-pocket folder inserts using Pocket Full of Vintage's instruction, using standard US size folders, the 8.5" X 11" ones. You don't need the legal folders to use her method :).
Great video, Thanks!
Great instructional video! Thank you!
+Diane Milligan Thanks, I appreciate that and you're welcome!

Thanks for the tutorial and tips!
+PlannerBug TV You are welcome!
you're a great teacher
Hello there. I just made my first Traveler's notebook folder thanks to YOU!. I only made one change, and that is that I made it with two cardstocks back to back (I wanted a pretty inside :) I would like to find a cardstock that is double sided. Thank you for this. :)
This helped so much! Thanks!
Thank for this video. It was perfect.
love this!
Thanks very helpful!
i love how you make your notebooks, wish you would do classes, i would love to join something like this, its a bit confusing for me with the sizes
Thxs for sharing sweetie! huge help. ♡
Love this video! Thank you so much.
+Colleen P I'm glad you enjoyed it and you are welcome!
TFS. Imagine this with the faux leather paper.... (see videos using paper bag with hair conditioner, Mod Podge, etc.)
Thanks so much!!! Mine turned perfect, I really appreciate :)
+Elyssa Nalani You're welcome. Yay, I'm so glad it helped!
Like your video & dimensions for other sizes. 27 September 2020.
Thank you - this is a fantastic tutorial - I wanted one folder and ended up making 14!!! You've made it so easy to follow. I did make a slight adjustment - instead of cutting the lower fold off, I left it and glued the folded part to the other folded part on the side so the whole pocket was open all the way to the edge. Not sure how they'll wear, but I'm thrilled with them and have enough to change them out whenever I want.....and I want to make more!
+Christianne Gerstner, CZT Haha, it's funny how that works! That's a great tweak with the fold.
Thanks - I've had a few people ask if they could buy them from me - just wanted to check if that is ok with you?
Sure! It wasn't my pattern to begin with.
Thanks!
great vid..tfs
THANK YOU!
Awesome tutorial, thank you so much!! Great use of my enormous stack of scrapbook paper lol
+Natasha C Yes, and there are such beautiful papers to choose from out there!
Very helpful 👍🌸🦄💕🧚🏻♂️
Thanks for sharing.
+Tonika Reed You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by. :)
Thank you for this
Thanks for the video. Can I laminate it and use it for personal 6 rings agenda , just make 6 wholes?
This video is awesome! where did you get your paper rounder and do you know where I could find a cheap one?
Very nice
Great video! Thank you! What Traveler's Notebook do you use?
Fab tutorial! I looked in the comments, and didn't see this question... where did you buy the pineapple paper? I love it!!!
I was actually searching for the fizkars puncher, looks like you're the only one using the one i want!, couldn't figure out how to move the designs in the thing.. till you turned upside down.. thanks for the help!!! i mean it!!!, can i ask you if is still working and if you recommend it?
Hi.. Awesome video!!! do you by any chance have the dimensions for a personal sized TN?
Thank u for sharing :)
Arrgh! No size reference for a personal size! Just kidding, I can probably figure it out by myself. Your method looks very easy. Thank you :o)
Thank you for this great tutorial! I appreciate that your instructions are very easy to understand. I just purchased may books and am trying to figure out what size notebook to buy between the wide and extra wide. Then I will be able to make a folder following your tutorial! What do you think would be the best size? Thanks again!
+Marla M It's probably easier to check measurements as the same size notebook can be labeled differently. May books/A5 notebooks are 5"W x 8"H, so your Traveler's Notebook will need to be 8-1/2"H x 11"W, or 8-1/2"H x 5-1/2" when folded. Hope that helps and makes sense! It's easy to make your own, if you're interested; here is my tutorial on that: kzhead.info/sun/m5yzg8aGhahol4k/bejne.html
Would you by chance have the sizes for a B6?
OMG that's too freaking cute lol.
very helpful ty I'm a new subscriber to yr channel TFS sweetie
