Good morning StitchStealers!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday.  I’m coming down off of a crazy busy month and I’m looking forward to resting and relaxing this weekend – with hopefully one small stop at a New Year’s Eve party that is!

As I was putting away my holiday fabric the other day, I noticed that some of the colorful scraps would be the perfect size for making into some quick, handmade wine bags to take to my hosts.

A few minutes later, I had these!

To make your own, take a piece of fabric that is approximately 13″ x 12″.

Fold the 13″ long side down 1″ and sew – to make a casing (this will be at the top of the bag).

Now fold the entire piece of fabric in half vertically (right sides together)  and sew around the bottom and side edge – but being careful not to sew the casing closed (be sure to reinforce the area right below though!).

Turn right side out, thread a ribbon, twine or cording through the casing (and then knot together at the ends) and there you go!

Very quick and very easy! This is also a great simple gift bag or storage bag (I make them with scraps for my children to carry their “treasures” around with).

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend and can’t wait to share more with, and learn more from, all of you in the New Year!
