What, are you kidding me? Not only would this be great for its intended purpose, but it would be great for my stuff when I go to concerts! I HATE to drag a purse to a concert; you want to dance, you want to jump up and down with the crowd, and there is no way to do so comfortably while watching/worrying about what’s up with the purse. I usually stuff my pockets so full of junk that I look even weirder that I already am, lol! This will completely solve that problem for me.
Thanks!

I love this! I am going to make one, but instead of the strap that goes on your neck, I want to make one to go around your waist. Do you think that would work?

Thank you so much!
