A Ghastly Party... It's BYOB!
Welcome to Crooked Gulley's Ghastly Project!
If you go into the city tonight you're in for a scary surprise!
For every Ghastly that ever there was
Will gather there for certain because...
Tonight's the night the Ghastlies are having their GALA!
What's that you say?? It's BYOB?
I need a wine carrier that's made just for me?
I've got it! I've found it!
It screams, "LOOK and SEE!"
It's chic and carries the best Chardonnay,
There's even more room for Merlot and Cabernet!
Sparkly with pockets and secure compartments.
And think of all the marvelous compliments!
There's room for a cheese board, knife, and bread,
Oh what a marvelous, delicious spread!
Check out the pockets for napkins and corkscrew.
How about the backside? It's cute and chic, too.
It's simply sublime, and I'll look divine!
And... now, I'm done with this silly rhyme!!!
Well... I can hardly wait for the next BYOB party at my golfing community.
No more brown paper bags for moi.
I now have the end all in party carriers.
I could have used basic fat quarters, but had to buy a yard of the green to get the perfect placement of the pictures. I also double lined all four sides with quilt batting. I wanted the protection and the insulation to keep my chardonnay cold. The carrier's width is the same as a wine bottle on it's side. That way if I'm taking just one bottle (which is usually the case... I'm not a lush!) it can place it on it's side. The bag is also a wine bottle tall. So, basically it is a square. The handles are just strap webbing material sold by the yard at Joanns or Walmart. I used metallic silver thread to quilt the lovely ladies hair, the knives... and the candles.
That's it, that's all. Just a cute sassy, classy BYOB party bag. Hope you enjoyed seeing it.
And... don't forget to visit the other Ghastly Blogs for today.

ReplyDeleteSuper cool and classy. You are a clever Ghastlie girl. How you will be the envy. Thank you for sharing another inspiring Ghastlie project with us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Love your wine tote! Awesome job! Thanks for sharing! Have a Ghastly Day! :)
ReplyDeleteIf I'm not mistaken, it looks like you sewn just right on the fabric to make it kind of pop? Or else my eyes have gone, lol! But if you did do stitching in certain areas to make the scene pop, wow it really worked and looks awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the share!!! :)
Please enter me in the Ghastlie Giveaway. I'd highly appreciate! Have a wonderful day.
Love your wine bag,very tres chic :) Barb.
ReplyDeleteI love your bag, it's adorable (I mean ghastly!) If you brought it to my party, I might have to arm wrestle you for it!
ReplyDeleteI love the bag and the great quilting you did on it as well. Very Ghastly Perfect.
ReplyDelete~a
You will be the darling of the chardonnay set. Beaut little project, just be careful that someone doesn't find it too ghastlie and walk/run off with it. Have a ghastlie day.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great project. Nice job and I love all the little details.
ReplyDeleteIt was worth buying the extra fabric just to get the images perfect! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love your wine tote. And your clever quilting to get the figures to pop out and all the pockets.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your fantastic project.

ReplyDeleteOHHHH Mary Ghastlie....I think we best grab your bag and head back to your sistah Jane Ghastlie for some pasta dish she has undercover..I think your WINE bag is simply irresistible...I wasn't sure about the green Ghastlie..but you know it is sickly sweet...like you ...the sweet part not the sickly lol YOu have got to continue sewing..you have some delightful ideas xx
ReplyDeleteI love the placement of the fabric! You did a great job! What a brilliant wine bag :) Now you better get drinking ;)

ReplyDeleteYou gals are so innovative. Great idea and could be used for other interests.
ReplyDeleteI think I will have to have my BYOB Ghastlie party next year. What a fantastic and ghastlie project.
ReplyDeleteVery cute idea and very creative. I don't often get to go to a BYOB party but if I did I'd have the best carrier on the planet, besides yours of course.

ReplyDeleteThis looks like a project I could totally stand to make. Who doesn't need a bag to carry their wine? Thank you so much for sharing and the cute photos.
ReplyDeleteWith Class! I love it, and you did such a great job! Hope you get to use it soon. If there's no party, maybe you just need to stock it with that bottle of wine, cheese, bread and all the other goodies and have a little picnic! Thanks for sharing your talent and ideas!

ReplyDeleteLoved your rhyme and the carrier is divine!
ReplyDeleteNice bag!
ReplyDeleteVery cute 'Ghastlie' Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat was a cute wine bag Mary! I used to go to wine tasting parties when we lived in CA. That sure would have been a 'hit' at those parties, to show up with that bag! Of course I would have to keep a close watch that the bag didn't grow legs and walk away! lol
ReplyDeleteYour wine bag is going to be so envied! I really love it. You put so much thought into it and it is so practical.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project!! Loved it!!
ReplyDeleteDarling bag and wonderful how you've fussy cut the material to give it just that perfect look. Thanks for sharing it and have a great day
ReplyDeleteSew unique and tres ghastlie! You have done an awesome job Mrs Ghastlie. Cheers, Dianne
ReplyDeleteSuper job on the tote! Ghastlies is the perfect fabric for it!
ReplyDeletebe careful. the hostess will think you made it just for him/her. it's a beautiful bag.
ReplyDeleteI ADORE your BYOB bag! You will be the Bomb at your next wine-tasting party!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing!
Isn't your wine bag just so Ghastlie. I love all the "special" things you did like putting in something to keep the bottles upright and the pockets for silverware, etc. I do wish I could get a close-up of the metallic thread; I'll bet that is just soooooo Ghastlie.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I LOVE the bag! It's amazing and such a useful one too. That would make a super cute shower gift for a bridal shower and really cute using the Ghastlies fabric if the wedding was near Halloween. You could put all the goodies like the glasses, cute napkins made from the Ghastlies fabric and the corkscrew and even two nice bottles of wine or champagne. That would be a cute bag for the wedding couple to take to their hotel on the wedding night and you could even put some other snacks inside too.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you would consider doing a little tutorial on how you made that bag for those like me who must still follow instructions for things like this. I would love to know how to make a bag like yours.
The wine bag is awesomely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your project.
ReplyDeleteThat is a really great idea and a great conversation starter for a party.
ReplyDeleteDebbie

ReplyDeleteLove the wine bag, absolutely fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteLove your wine tote bag, it is really creative.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful use of the Ghastlies. I NEED one! I saved about a yard and a half of my fabric, knowing there would be wonderfully inspiring ideas and think this is my winner. Definitely going to finish off my stash of Ghastlies with a wine tote!
ReplyDeletethis wine tote is absolutely perfect...I am going to make one!!!!8
ReplyDeleteYup! You will definitely look swish going out partying!! Thanks for sharing - great idea... might have to make me one of those too!!
