Other wine bag patterns to sew

• An adorable version with a drawstring.
• This one looks a lot like mine – but from another point of view.
• And one with a handle.

Let’s say you don’t have the time or interest in sewing your own custom wine bag. Then, consider ordering some and just adding some embroidery. Target has some pretty swanky ones with handles and even a bit of insulation.

These colorful neoprene wine totes are ADORABLE. If you can manage to stitch out a monogram on one of these, you now have the perfect gift.

Or you can buy these burlap versions in bulk. They’re so cheap that if you screw one up, you are not out much!

Can you make one in the hoop?

Yes – of course! If you are lucky enough to have a large enough embroidery hoop, you can stitch out a wine bag entirely in the hoop. There are a couple of in-the-hoop wine bag designs that would be quick and easy to stitch out.

One of my favorite in-the-hoop wine bags is from CraftiStitch. The bold design on this “Keep Calm and Drink Wine” in-the-hoop wine bag is super fun. And the pattern is also easy to understand because the design is so straightforward. You can even add more flair by choosing a more flashy ribbon. The only caveat is that you will need at least an 8″ x 12″ embroidery hoop to be able to stitch it out.

Sew What Embroidery Designs also very unique and different style of in-the-hoop wine bag. And, it actually has a handle! What I love about this bag is that you can stitch out this design in a hoop as small a 6″ x 10″.

Stephanie of Sew What Embroidery Designs suggests adding a few finishing touches after the bag is removed from the embroidery hoop.

The maker should take it to her sewing machine or serger while the bag is still inside out to close the bottom, making sure to corner their edges and trim them. This makes the bag look complete and sleek when giving as a gift or when displayed at a show.

For both of these in-the-hoop wine bags, you can substitute the embroidered design on the bag with a personalized message or something more appropriate for the occasion.

Quite often my friends come up with projects for me to make on my sewing and embroidery machines. One of the latest? Wine bags. One of my friends pointed me in the direction of a site that sold adorable wine bags with celebratory messages printed down the front. And then she informed me “you could totally make these on your embroidery machine, but obviously much, much cuter.” Challenge accepted. Since I had an impending graduation party (for another friend who had recently completed her PhD), I had the perfect opportunity to make a wine bag embroidered with an appropriate congratulatory message.

Why make a wine bag?

If you are wondering, “why bother making a wine bag?” allow me to make my case. A wine bag actually serves a few purposes. First, it protects the bottle. The last thing you want to happen when you are hustling off to a party is for the wine to break and spill all over your car. Even with the amazing Wine Away – red wine is not fun to clean up.

A wine bag can also make transporting the wine a bit easier. Holding onto a a few bag handles is a lot easier than juggling bottles in your arm, especially if you are using them to carry a casserole, dessert, child, etc…
