Canvas Wine Bag by Katrina Hamer

Classic ticking stripes have something relaxing and comfortable about them. The stripes are woven, not printed, making this fabric so much stronger! Add charm to your party beverage in our snap lid water bottles. Bring it as a gift with a ticking stripe canvas bag! Here are the directions to make it below!

Supplies:

1/3 yard each of a main fabric, lining and fusible fleece. If you need a little wider bag, purchase

3/8 yard of each. You will have enough fabric to make 3 bags but only enough fleece for 2 bags.

½ yard ribbon to tie bag closed

Optional: trims, chalkboard cloth, duck cloth, iron on letters and designs

Directions:

All seams are ¼”.

Cut each piece-main, lining and fleece to 18” x 12”.

Fuse fleece to main fabric.

If adding a label on the bag, add it to the main fabric now. I cut my labels 4”x4”. Position it about 4” up from the bottom and 1 ½” from the side edge. Stitch or fuse into place. With RST, sew the lining to the main fabric along the top edge. Fold the main fabric and lining in half lengthwise and stitch this long side.

Leaving this tube inside out, place your bottle on each corner and trace around it. Trim the excess fabric.

Sew the curves and bottom seam on the main fabric. Turn right side out. By hand or machine, stitch the lining bottom closed. Push the lining inside, press the top of the bag opening. If desired, top stitch ¼” from top edge. Insert your bottle and tie the top with a ribbon, raffia or piece of coordinating fabric.
