Moleskine Wallet Hack
Inspired by a friend who was using his Moleskine as a wallet, I decided to design a Moleskine "wallet cover" to hold cash, credit cards, Moo mini-cards, and a pen. The cover is mounted tightly, holds everything securely, doesn't add too much bulk, and slides in and out of a pocket with ease. This should encourage me to always have my Moleskine within reach whenever ideas strike.

Great idea and a great design. I'd love to see detailed patterns/instructions on how to create one. I'd even pay for one if I could find it for sale!

Where are the step-by-step instructions? I desperately need this.

The best instructions I have right now are post-construction on flickr ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/operationorange/sets/72157605517462686/ ). You should be able to replicate what we did using the flickr photos and comments. I'll try to talk my wife into making more for sell on etsy and/or a detailed instructable (http://instructables.com/). The credit really belongs to my wife for this. She did all the sewing and craft work!

You could definitely sell these. I know people have been complaining about not having a place to keep their pen since Moleskine came out these past 10 years. And a lot of people are not so crafty as your wife.
And this is not so much just a novel idea but more functional as well.

Someone on Flickr was wondering about the coins. What I would do is get some coin purses, the ones i'm thinking of I saw at Virgin records, they were Japanese and made of paper, and then it could (if the right size) fit right into one of the slots.

^^ Great solution for storing coins. I've never seen the paper coin purses you mention, but will keep my eye out for them.
