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.

    If 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. :)

    Thanks for the share!!! :)

    Please enter me in the Ghastlie Giveaway. I'd highly appreciate! Have a wonderful day.

    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.

  108. VickiTNovember 2, 2011 at 5:10 PM

    Oh 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.

    I 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.

    Wow! Love it when some one designs something so practical! I want to carry wine with me someday....

    What you did with your bag design and the use of the fabric says: Dine out! Whine not?

    You took the subliminal message of this fabric and showed me exactly the best use for it!!!

    You have a winner! A great bag, never thought of a wine tote. Something for my next retreat. Now is it your own or adapted from so-many-out-there tote bags...no i'd say an original but many to come. Thank you for sharing. It is great with this fabric, puts fun back into sewing practical!

 I don't have my beautiful sewing studio anymore. We decided to get out from under the mortgage. That means we sold the house including my awesome sewing room above the garage! Bummer! But we're going to Italy in the Fall for a month.... not a bade trade off at all. Italy always inspires new quilts. So we got creative with space. This house is 1400 sq' compared to the 2800' we sold. There are two bedrooms. That's it! The "guest bedroom" is my new sewing room. DH converted the closet into a lighted sewing center with my thread racks on the back closet wall. Not too bad. From now on I'll make smaller art quilts :-)  But, what to do about a bed in the center of the room???? DH to the rescue again. He built a Murphy Bed from a kit and directions off the web. His next project is a large work table that will fold up and go under the lowered bed when company comes. The picture below is of the Murphy Bed. We've already had several overnight guest...

My mug rug is a bit on the large size and does not have a thing to do with rain, showers or April. In fact, I should have saved it for next month's bird blog hop. But it is the one and only mug rug I've ever made, and I just love it.  (Oddly enough, so does my DH) It all started with this litte table located in our cozy reading corner of the kitchen.    It's functional because it holds magazines and has a lamp.  However, the top is not real wood! Tacky!  And, our kitchen is pretty nice... We love its open style and views.  Enjoying coffee there in the morning is quite nice. I wanted a nicer looking table. That little table was just screaming... MUG RUG! We have a bird fee...
