I needed a small evening bag to match a formal wedding outfit. It is made from navy satin with a silk lining. I made the pattern myself. Very simple with only one pattern piece. You cut four of the outer fabric and four of the lining. I hand-sewed the beads on after I made it which was not a good idea. If I make another, I would sew the beads on before the lining. The bag was perfect for the wedding. It fit my phone, id, lip balm and some tissue.
