So, then -- you could simply add a loop much like the one shown above.  Skive the ends (outside the loop) and stitch between the layers just like the previous 'version' of the pattern.  OR, 

almost as simple, you could cut the parts from one piece (except the card pockets, for reasons already covered about the stitch showing). So you'd have 2 pieces instead of 4.. and they'd be 'joined' by this loopy thingie (in my case, 1.75" long) you made...

You could use a "single"  strap, or alternating to form a closure (hey, the girls liked that in the 60's, so ...).  Which "could" be done by cutting a solid piece and then cutting out the ovals ;)

a6.gifCut out the shaded sections-- wide or narrow as you like long as they alternate positions. Remember the 1.75" is between stitch lines, so the "between" distance would actually be 1.5" (minus 1/8" per side).

I added a "fold line" here just to be clear -- still just a matter of lining pocket tops up with the witness marks.

Remember to stitch the card pockets on before  folding over, and yer done.

Nice mod! My idea was to make a cutout of a letter "V", then turn the top of the two arms 180 degrees inward and stitch to the inside at the main fold. It makes a tube when looking at it from above. Found a super-skinny pen (with refills) on Amazon so it doesn't make the stack too thick.

An even simpler pen "holder" can be achieved like this...

I know this isn't a passport wallet or field notes book, but it's the same idea. Just make sure to allow for the additional width of the back piece to allow for the pen in the middle.

Looking at that, I can see where my idea of the pen in the fold wouldn't work so well for a notes thing. Good to know!
