Would you like to make Frugal and Environmentally friendly Wine bottle bag?
Well look no further here is an easy tutorial to make these. I would allow about an hour in total to complete this project. Skill level required is low and you can hand sew if you do not have a machine :)
- Sheet of fabric from a sample book (They sell them off for between 50p and £1 in my local fabric shop)
- A length of ribbon 50-70cm (I used left over from other projects so cost £Nil)
- Needle and some Thread
- Sewing Machine (Optional)
You need to remove the strengthening paper from the samples.
If its tacked you will need to remove these with seem-ripper first
Now heat gently with an iron and the paper should come away fairly easily
Step 2:
Layout the bottle on the fabric and roll it over the bottle to see where to cut away the excess. Remember to leave a small seem allowance I used approx 2cm.
Step 3:
Using the offcut you need to draw around the bottle and add a seem allowance I added approx 1.5cm to all sides. (I did this by eye it does not have to be exact.)
Step 4:
Next work out how tall you would like the holder and fold over the top twice (To conceal raw edges)
and hem either with the machine or by hand
Now put right sides together and sew down the length to create the tube.
Now we need to either pin or tack in the bottle cirle. I find tacking easier personally if you hand sew you will need to tack it first.
Sew on the bottom either by hand or with the machine. Remember to back stitch the start/end for strenght.
Step 8:
Now cut of all threads and turn in the right way. Check the bottle fits.
Finish it by tying on a bow.
