Quilted Wine Tote To Take Along

Make This Trendy Quilted Wine Tote

This quilted wine tote would make a great housewarming, hostess, or holiday gift. Make one for yourself too. If it’s anything like at our house, we are often grabbing a bottle of wine to take with to a party. It’s so classy to arrive with your wine in a wine tote! Make  the tote with one layer out of insulated batting. That way if you’re going to  barbeque or a cheese and wine picnic on a warm day, the tote would help to keep white wine cool.

Used quilting weight fabric for both the outer fabric and the lining, but you could use home dec weight fabric on the outside and possibly skip one layer of batting and/or only lightly quilt it. If you used a high-loft batting you might only need one layer.  If you want it to be more snug-fitting, you could make the outer fabric pieces below 6″ wide rather than 6 and 3/8″ wide.

Cut out the two pattern pieces from the printed-out pattern.  Put the handle pattern piece aside for now and then cut the following pieces out of the fabric and batting (sorry the circle pieces are not pictured below):

• Out of the outer fabric, two rectangles 6 and 3/8″x15″ and one circle (cut out according to the pattern) – I am using Robert Kaufman Metro Cafe as my outer fabric (love this!).
• Out of the lining fabric, two rectangles 7 1/4″ x16″ and a rough circle/square about 1/2″ larger on all sides than the circle fabric piece – I am using Amy Butler Love as my lining fabric.
• Out of the batting, the rectangles described above (four 7.5″x16″ rectangles) and also a rough circle/square about 1/2″ larger on all sides than the circle pattern piece.
