Quilt-Related Project: Wine Sack

by Terry Crawford



Quick Project!
Quilted Wine Sack

Quilted Wine Sack
     With summer right upon us, picnics are inevitable, as are weddings, and the highlighted project for this week can be used for either!
     This oh-so-simple, quick, cute wine sack pattern is provided by the Home Sewing Association and makes a handy carrier for a bottle of wine to take to a special occasion. This wine sack makes an excellent “anytime” gift, too!
     This fun project includes a great description, a nice photograph, a list of materials needed, and a complete set of instructions that are easy to understand.
     I would rate this project at the beginner level, however, a more experienced quilter (or a new quilter that is motivated to learn!) could easily make a few adjustments to take it to a higher level. For example:

  • The pattern calls for pre-quilted fabric, but if one chose to use this opportunity to practice machine-quilting skills, it would easily give it a more personal look and feel.
  • This project is also one that could easily be embellished to turn a simple wine sack into a luxurious one in a snap! Add ribbons, buttons, bows, trims, metallic threads, etc. to enhance the appearance.
  • Change out the appliqué by either adding a personal design or by purchasing an already-finished appliqué that is ready to sew onto a project. Or leave the appliqué off completely and choose a fabric with a luscious print!
  • Leaving off the appliqué? Have a sewing machine that does embroidery? Add your own embroidery pattern for a unique look.
  • Try adding hand-embroidery!
  • Use decorative stitches to finish the project off (hemming, etc.).
  • Use decorative stitches to quilt the project.

    •      
         These are just a few ideas to get you started. Should you decide that this is the project for you, please share a photo?

      Now this is a cool idea! My dad is a self-professed “wine snob” and I think he’d really like one or more of these. Thanks so much for posting this project!
