Even the most modest vintage will make a great gift when it's presented in one of our denim wine bags--and they're made of the legs of old jeans!
Tools:pair of old jeans
scissors
sewing machine
thread
denim-weight sewing-machine needle
straight pins
decorative ribbon
optional: patches
1. Cut a jeans leg 16" from the bottom hem and set the rest of the jeans aside. Turn this portion of the leg inside out.2. Using the sewing machine, stitch the raw edges (the cut part) right sides together, with a standard 5/8" seam allowance (figure A). This will form the body of the wine bag. 3. Turn the wine bag right side out. Hand-stitch or iron on fun patches (figure B).
4. Place a bottle of wine in the bag and tie at the neck with a decorative ribbon.
