I like the idea of your travel thingy upthread and liked the idea of two opposing flaps for notes.

But still retaining the the passport holder section - maybe.

But in terms of converting it into a practical every day wallet, it was missing a few things. Like a safe place for cards.

I'd ideally like at least 4 slots which are limited in size inside. Below is as far as the cards can be pushed in as I folded the material back on itself and secured it in place.

So I was thinking of something like this. Notes on the right under the bottom flap, then the top flap can be used for larger items like passport/tickets. Cards on the left. If there was a compartment UNDER the cards where the horizonal divide is on the left - awesome, but perhaps that's overkill.

Then I realised I'd made a fatal error.

That's a five pound note above stretch full length. And the wallet is too long for my liking. So with a twenty or, heaven forbid a fiddy dorra note, i'd have to fold a few centimetres in at one end - daft. That or have a really long wallet - do not want.

So I figured instead of having the bottom of the two opposing note flaps running diagonally, it could be a horizontal cut that ends a little over three quarters of the way up the top flap.

That way, notes can be folded in half below and remain secure, and it still leaves the top compartment available for loosely storing larger items.

Clearer pic:

So without further ado, 31trums and 31trummen, what about something like this:

Though only issue I see is that it it could be too thick - particularly the card section.

Having seen your photos of your plectrum holders, is there a way you could, instead of folding the material underneath to act as a cup to keep the cards in place; sew each layer down at the bottom - without it coming through on the back? Glue?
