\"NeckWallet\"<\/p>\n

I made this neck wallet over the weekend for a friend of mine who had her wallet stolen on a rush hour bus coming home from work. The thief unzipped her purse, removed the wallet, and zipped the purse back up. She wasn’t aware\u00a0it happened until her credit card company\u00a0notified her. My friend was born and raised in the city, so she knows the perils of an unban environment – so if this could happen to her, it could happen to anyone<\/em>. Hopefully, this wallet will give her some peace of mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
