Wine Carrier

Thanksgiving is a Holiday where people come together to celebrate with delicious food and to be thankful.  This year, I wanted to make a wine carrier.  It’s a perfect gift to give on this Holiday season or use it if you’re in charge to bring the wine to the Thanksgiving dinner.

I used autumn themed prints for the wine carrier using our Trinkets Fusion, Meadow Trinkets, combined with AGF Pure Solids .

I made this wine carrier a bit taller than what a wine measures, so you can insert any preferred size bottle or if you just want to keep the wine as a surprise gift. Hope you enjoy making this wine carrier!

Instructions to sew a wine carrier

Step one:

Start joining your strips in the following order:

B-C-A-DF-E-A-B-C-E-A-D-F-E-A

Step Two:

Once you finish sewing all of your strips, take a piece of batting and place it on the wrong side of your assembled piece. Pin all around and on the center so your fabric doesn’t shift when quilting.

I wanted to use a quilting motive that would match with my Meadow Trinkets fabric, so I chose the decorative stitch #113 which creates a very delicate leaf motif.

I quilted certain strips with this motif and then did some straight stitching using the Reverse pattern foot #1D to make perfect stitch lines.

Step 3:

Take your 7’’ x 15 1/2’’ rectangle from fabric D, which is your backing fabric, and place batting on the wrong side of the fabric and pin all around.

Use your preferred quilt motif. In my case, I did a single diamond.

But first, I marked my lines on my fabric with a water soluble pen.

Then, using the Reverse pattern foot #1D I was able to make perfect stitch lines. My lines were about 1” distance from each other and I picked a mustard color thread to make the fabric and quilt motif pop.

Now, you have both of your pieces quilted and ready to be sewn together.

Step 4:

Place both of your quilted pieces facing right sides together and pin all around.

You will sew the sides and the bottom at a 1/4”.

Step 5:

Once you sew all three side, make a 1” square mark on each corner of your piece.

Cut the 1” square carefully. Bring the side and bottom seams together, matching the seams.

Stitch through all layers along the cut edge to close the corner. Backstitch at the beginning, where the seams match, and at the end. If desired, reinforce by stitching again for extra strength.

Set your piece aside.

Step 6:

Take your lining fabric and place them right sides facing each other and pin.

Sew at a 1/4” seam allowance your sides and bottom leaving a about 3”-4” opening so you can turn your piece inside out.

Make your boxed corners on your lining piece as well.

Step 7:

Take the main piece and insert it on the lining piece, making sure they’re right sides facing each other.

Pin your piece making sure your seams are matching. Remove the free-arm table of your machine to sew more comfortably and be able to rotate your wine carrier.

Sew the top of your wine carrier at a 1/4” seam allowance.

Step 8:

Take you wine carrier out of the machine and flip it inside out very carefully. Close the opening of you lining piece.

Insert the lining in the wine carrier. Press and steam.

Step 9:

To make your handle, take the 18‘’ x 4‘’ rectangle from fabric A and  fold the strip in half lengthwise to create a crease in the center.

Then, open the strip and fold the edges towards the center crease. Fold the folded edges.

Stitch right on the edge and then sew at the other side of the handle piece. Using the Reverse pattern foot #1D I was able to make perfect stitch line.

Then, fold your raw edges twice and edge stitch.

Step 10:

Take the wine carrier and fold it so the side sime is facing you. Place the handle about 1 1/4” from the top, then center it so the handle is pinned right in the middle of the seam.

Sew a small square to secure the strap with the wine carrier. Repeat the same on the other side.

Press and steam your wine carrier.

Now you’ve got yourself a cute wine carrier!. Cheers!
