WINED UP - A pattern for a horizontal wine tote

This is a digital pattern - NOT a finished product. Sorry, no returns.

Finished Size: 15.5” L x 5.5” H x 4” W (39 cm L x 14 cm H x 10 cm W). This fits a "regular" 750 ml wine bottle - 12" to 12-1/2" tall. The pattern includes tips for taller bottles.

FEATURES:

• A stylish, horizontally-oriented wine tote
• A zipper closure and straps that wrap around the base of the tote.
• Can be made from a variety of exterior fabrics: quilting cotton, upholstery fabric, canvas, vinyl or leather.
• If you use canvas and are handy with paint, brush, stamps or stencils then consider customizing your tote with your own motif or theme.
• Lining can be made from quilting cotton or pre-quilted cotton for insulation.
• Fabric or webbing straps
• Alternate handles with rectangular rings and tabs made with contrasting fabric, cork, leather or vinyl.

PATTERN INCLUDES:

• Patternpieces to print and cut
• Lots of helpful diagrams
• Enough written detail for the beginning bag maker
• If you are not in this category, it will still appeal as it is easily modified.  Let your fabric choices can take it up a notch - cork, leather, vinyl, waxed canvas or hand-painted canvas.
• All construction is suitable for a domestic sewing machine.

MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES:

• Exterior: 1 fat quarter quilting cotton, canvas, linen or upholstery sample at least 18” x 18” (46 cm x 46 cm)
• Lining: 1 fat quarter quilting cotton
• Fabric Straps or Alternate Rectangular Ring Tabs and Handles:
  • 1/4 yard (.25 metre) of contrasting fabric
  • 30” (.75 m.) 20” (51 cm) wide fusible interfacing
• Webbing Straps: 60 inches (150 cm) of 1” (2.5 cm ) webbing
• Interfacing:
  • 1 yard (.9 meters) 20 “ (51 cm) wide fusible woven interfacing  (e.g., Pellon Shape Flex SF101)
  • 1 piece  -  18” x 18” (46 cm x 46 cm) fusible fleece (e.g., Thermolam Plus)
  • 1 piece  -  12 “ x 4 “ (30 cm x 10 cm) firm stabilizer (e.g., Peltex, plastic grid, core flute)

• 1   -  14” (35 cm)  zipper, #3 or #5 will work equally well. A coil zipper is easier to work with than metal or Vislon since you can sew through it more easily.  Zipper tape with a slider is a great choice.
• Marking chalk or erasable pen. Check to ensure marks will erase from your fabric choice.

Optional:

• 4  -  1 “ rectangular rings, if making optional tabs and handles.
• 4 - Bag feet
• Double-sided tape or fabric glue
