The Lenten Roses Beaded Evening bag looks elegant with or without the flower embellishment included in the pattern. The beaded yarn held together with unbeaded yarn gives this bag its characteristic understated, sparkly elegance.

Wheather with knitted, beaded, or silk handles, this bag adds an air of sophistication to any outfit and any occasion. It is simple to make and block and relatively simple to finish. Just attach handles with JUL Silver Lyre or Vine purse rings, sew Noni Pockets inside, add a little stiffener to the bottom of the bag, and you are ready for a night of dancing, a cocktail party, or a fancy dinner with a special someone.
