Petit Four Evening Bag
(130)A one-skein project, this little vintage-style, romantic bag is fun to make and looks as sweet as the little cakes for which it was named. Embellish your little sweet with one or several of the sweetheart roses, romantic as sugar flowers (pattern included), and your little bag is a vintage-style companion for a wedding or an evening out. The perfect bag for for you to take to the wedding in a color that matches or compliments your outfit. It is also the perfect bag for bride and bridesmaids.
Dot with cabochon rivets in nickel, antique brass, or gunmetal finishes (pick the finish that matches your frame!) in an all-over design and your little purse has the feeling of a little harlequin pastry.
Style with a bouquet of pansies from Noni Flowers and it is the ideal companion for a Spring-time frock.
This bag is big enough for wallet, keys, and phone, but small enough for all your gift-knitting projects.
