I like carrying large bags and purses . . . but I don't like digging around in my purse to find my keys, or my credit card at the grocery store.  I came up with a solution: The On The Run! purses:

Welcome, Change! 

Pictured here in "Denim" grey and Sun Yellow stripes, this tiny purse is too small for a credit card, but it is perfect for change or other small things: knitting notions, favorite jewelry, a day's medication.

3" (7.6cm) wide at hinge x 3 - 3.5" (7.6 - 8.8cm) tall 

Ready, Set, Go! 

Pictured here in Black, this purse is ideal for holding a credit card and some folded bills and change comfortably. You can make this your on the go wallet.

3" (7.6cm) wide at hinge x 5 - 5.5" (12.7 - 13.9cm) tall

Clip it! 

And this tiny purse, seen here in Zinnia Pink, is the tallest of the On The Go!tiny purses. It is perfect for your glasses, or an epi-pen, or a combination of essentials.)

3" (7.6cm) wide at hinge x 6.5 - 7" (16.5 - 17.7cm) tall

If you prefer, you can also purchase this pattern through Ravelry.
