Fancy novelty yarns felted in with the wool gives these fast and easy evening bags a festive look. You will want several to match your favorite outfits. Choose the size of purse that will hold your necessities for a night on the town. Make a small cell phone/eyeglass holder to match your purse or to use alone.
