A lovely, micro-tiny bag, with or without the sugar skull.

The Sugar Skull mico knitted and felted purse is one of my newest favorite felted purses. Like others of my micro felted purses, Sugar Skull is the perfect little purse for your knitting tote: carry your stitch markers, tiny snips, measuring tape, and other knitting goodies. This purse is also perfect for going out to a fancey party. Decorate with the sugar skull or not, as you prefer. Make in any color: match your outfit. Match your fabulous shoes.

Sugar Skull makes a great gift. Knit it tonight, finish it tomorrow.
