This is a fun and easy way to make a wine bottle sweater.  I use the sleeves of old sweaters.  Use an old wine bottle as a pattern so you know how tall to make the bottle sweater.  I usually cut a little longer than the bottle.  To cut the circle piece for the bottom of the bottle I place it on the old sweater and trace around the bottom of the bottle.  Add 1/4" to the diameter for your seam allowance.  This circle will let you know how much you will have to take in the sleeve so that the circle will sew in with ease.

A wine bottle sweater made out of old sweaters. Just another cool way to recycle. My question is would you pay $5 for one? Is is practical, functional or just cute. I think it's a little bit of all three I just want to hear what you have to say!!

Okay you shouldn't let your wine bottle go without a sweater. Perfect for gifts too!! Can you guess what I made them from?

Okay so I can't seem to figure out what people like more aprons or purses or totes or ... So I thought I would make a little bit different shoulder bag. I'm not certain I like this one. It does seem to grow on me but I don't think I would personally use it. Maybe for a young girl. What do you think?
