A few years ago, I saw a cute puffy wristlet. Even though I could no longer remember what it looked like, I still wanted to sew something just as cute and puffy. All I knew was that darts on the bottom would give any pouch the puffy look. And out came this pouch/wristlet. (I have yet to make a strap). I like the look with the snap, but Velcro might be needed to keep small items from falling out. On my next try, I would add piping, a pocket or a divider or choose a contrasting fabric for the flap.
Just for fun, the Hello Kitty pouch has a linen flap to break the busy pattern on the fabric. HK makes me smile. It's a big part of my childhood memory. It's interesting to note that HK makes JJ sing with eyes brighten and eyebrows raised (though it's just one long note of "lah".)
