Posh Pocket
I designed this adorable little wrist wallet to be worn when you don’t feel like carrying a purse. If you are a mom like me, you start feeling like a pack mule after you load up on all the stuff you have to carry. I have often wished I had something just like this when shopping or going out on a date. This would also be great to wear when you do market fairs. The best part about this project is the majority of it is worked seamlessly with very little sewing!
