More Christmas in July

My Ladies of the Evening series continues today with a beaded bag I call Christmas Lass. This charming bag is just the right size for a little girl. She's 8 inches across at the base; 6-1/2 inches across at the opening; and about 3 inches tall. The front is completely beaded and spangled.



The back is plain satin. Her satin handles are about 8 inches long, giving them 3-1/2 inches to hold onto.



She's all wrapped up like a Christmas gift with a base of red, green, and gold seed beads in a random pattern. Her bow and ribbon are made from 3/8 inch red sequins, outlined in gold seed beads.



The "wrapping" is edged in more of the gold seed beads. But this little lady's seams are uncovered.



She's very clean. Her entire inside is lined with more of the red satin. She closes with a simple center snap.



The only blemish on Christmas Lass is this small slightly sticky spot just above the snap at the edge of the evening bag.

I'm fairly sure this was another thrift store find, but I didn't hold onto the receipt this time. I think she's adorable and look forward to giving Christmas Lass to my granddaughter Melody when she is a little bit older.
