My inspiration for these three little treats were small beaded bags I have in my very small antique bag collection. The beaded bags are from the 30s and 40s, and, for me, conjure images of young women dashing from one social even to the next … three nights in a row. These bags are small enough, and easy enough to make, that you can knit them up quickly with just a skein or two of yarn. The Stephanotis flowers and rosettes are beautiful and also quick knits. Felt, sew to the purse frame and you are ready for a night out. Perfect for holiday parties, a weekend getaway, date night, or for brides and bridal party!

Even if your social schedule is not as busy as the heroines who were my muses, these bags are delightful to carry yourself or to make as gifts for dear friends, loved family members, or little girls in your life.
