This cellphone wristlet is a cute yet functional little pouch for you to make. Great to take with you for errands, out for a walk, coffee date, pretty much anywhere you wish to go without having to take an entire purse with you. 

Features : 
Zipper Closure
Front zipper pocket
Front Slip Pocket
Wristlet Strap

The finished measurements of this pouch are approximately 4.5" x 8" , the zipper closure opening measures 4" wide, I can fit my iPhone XR (with chunky casing that makes the phone bigger) with a little extra room. This pouch should fit most smartphones (except of the super large ones) - if needed, you can increase the width measurement to suit yours.
