The Process of Developing a New Craft Product

Wine CorsetNew craft products don't just happen. Here's how my wine corsets came to be.

I love fancy fabric wine (and other) gift bags. The Artful Crafter is chock full of patterns and ideas for sewn gift bags.

    I found your post while searching for fabric gift bags. Oh, I love your ideas! As far as the wine bottle corset - can you find some yarn or twine that looks like grape vines? Perhaps something in the artificial floral dept. It would be keeping with the wine theme - and maybe easier to work with.
