Hi all, Lisa D. here!
You may not know me because I am typically behind the scenes shipping, billing, and doing Fabric Mart's accounting.
That being said, I am also not one of our best sewers here. However, this wine bag is easy enough even I can make it! These wine bags are a great way to personalize my favorite "last minute gift "to give, wine!
They only take about 15 minutes to make and you can use almost any scrap of fabric.
I used a cow print woven raw silk here because this particular wine bag was for our CBE (Chief Blogging Executive) Katie who happens to be marrying a dairy farmer this Summer.
But like I said you can use almost anything, I personally love metallics and silks to make them fancy or cotton prints to make them fun. The recipient will also love that they can re-use it next time they would like to gift a bottle of wine.

Materials:
- Fabric, you will need at least a 5" by 30" piece, so 1/8 of a yard would work
- At least 20" Ribbon or Trim
- Thread
- Scissors
- Sewing Machine or even just a Needle and Thread
1. Lay your fabric face down on your table
2. Fold over about 2" on the short side of each end to make a cuff/hem
3. Straight stitch a seam on each side to secure the hem
4. Fold fabric in half so that two hemmed ends meet and the face of the fabric is on the inside
5. Pin together wine bag sides placing the middle of the ribbon in the seam. Ribbon should be right below the hem on one side of the bag folded in half with the ribbon ends facing in. Remember the bag will be turned inside right at the end and the ribbon needs to be on the outside of the bag.
6. Stitch together the sides of the bags together including the middle of the ribbon.
7. Turn bag inside right
8. Insert wine, tie a bow with the ribbon, and relax!
Cheers!
