Thank you every one, you are very sweet, but it really is just basic sewing and one of the more simpler things I have attempted. It only took a couple of hours as opposed to the things I usually do such as the quilt, which is hanging behind my Lindy in my Profile photo. That has hundreds and hundreds of tiny hand applique pieces and hundred and hundreds of hours to complete, so it was fun for a change to do something quick and see the results in one evening...
oh my gosh mimi-7 - that is super amazing! please put it on eBay so the rest of us can buy one!
No Carmencita small page markers in any of the London stores right now !! SO....a temporary fix ?!!!
Using the Bolduc ribbon and some magnetic tape I came up with these two ideas. The first a twist on the amazeball ,and the second the ribbon backed by magnetic tape, this literally folds over one or more pages and doesn't slip out of the agenda until prised apart.

This looks absolutely amazing! What talent! 
Hi, I wasn't sure if this was the correct thread to use as my DIY isn't exactly made using Hermes, but was made for a Hermes Lindy, so I hope it is alright to put it in here.
I always use purse organisers in my bags, mainly to protect them and because I hate 'ratting around' to find things. I usually just buy them from the same seller on ebay and get the size and colour to match the particular bag. I did buy one in blue for my Lindy, but in order to get a wide enough one I had to get a diaper bag size and fold over the top. It was OK, but was still a little narrow and not quiet wide enough.
So I had the idea to make one to fit. I was first thinking of doing it in silk or something more exotic than just plain fabric, then I decided to make it using leather. So off to the leather shop, and although I couldn't get a blue close to Blue Jean, I picked a darker shade. While I was there I also saw a small skin that was a perfect 'Hermes Orange, so just had to have that as well.
Armed with a roll of freezer paper, and a tape measure it only took a few minutes to whip up a pattern and soon had it cut out and ready to sew. I decided to use the orange to pipe it, maybe a bit 'overkill' but the colour was just so yummy and the colour difference does define the pockets.
I made the pockets higher on the sides, and scooped them lower in the middle as when hand held the Lindy does fold inwards. I put a piece of mylar plastic covered in quilting batt between the 2 layers on the base, which firms it up and makes it sit well.
I am happy with the end result, and everything fits well and is easy to access, also I just love the feel of the soft leather. I even went back and brought some more of the blue leather, and now I am planning to make a hooded jacket, as we are coming into winter here and thought a blue jacket would be a change from my trusty old black one.
I took a few photos, I will post them, hope they come out alright as I am not the most 'tech savy' when it comes to things like that.
