Our all-time best selling pattern!
Megan W designed this little bag way back in 2008 for a customer who wanted a mini purse to carry her cell phone, credit cards and few other essentials. It became her best-selling item on Etsy, and many customers requested the pattern so they could make their own -- and it's been a best seller ever since.
This purse is perfect for those times when you just need to carry the essentials. Whether you’re running errands, going to a sporting event, or hitting the town, you can customize it for your daily needs – with three separate compartments and two strap options, it’s super versatile. Keep your cell phone in the front pocket for quick, easy access. Stash credit cards, cash, business cards, even a passport in the main zippered compartment or in the zippered pocket on the back of the bag. Easily clip your keyring onto one of the swivel hooks and you’re ready to go! Wanna go hands free? Swap out the short strap for the long strap with adjustable slider and wear it crossbody.
