Sometimes you just want to travel light and not lug a big heavy cavernous bag around. Little bags are nice for when you’re going to cruise around in your car and don’t want to dig too deeply for your gadgets or some gum. Perfect for us girls who aren’t inclined to carry the world on our shoulders.

It’s a sweet little project that packs a lot of charm into a small package, and makes a perfect personal gift for you or your friends, especially if you’re in a hurry!

If you’re a beginner knitter and have lots of enthusiasm, this one’s for you. Even the embroidery techniques are super easy!
