This project started off on a whim. I was at my mom’s and had forgotten my knitting bag at home. What to do while enjoying a cup of coffee while the kids played? I raided my mom’s stash of felt-able wool and came up with this cute little pouch.

I was originally intending it to work for me as a cell phone/wallet carrier. My hubby harps on me because I never have my cell phone on me… I always leave it in my purse in the car. The pouch size turned out perfect for my cell phone and wallet… but the strap wasn’t quite long enough to work as a messenger style strap… which is what I wanted. BUT it makes the cutest purse for my girls! Fairy inherited this one and I will be making another one for Pixie… and yes probably a third for me with double the length in strap.
