Turn them into unique gift bags. It's easy!
Just cut the bottom of the leg off at the knee. If you are making the bag for a wine bottle just make sure you have enough length for the bottle plus bottom seam and gathered top.
Turn the cut-off inside out and sew a seam for the bottom of the bag.
Back on good side out, tack on whatever you want to use for a closure. I used twine here but you could use ribbon or cord. Just sew it on at the back a couple of inches below the top of the bag.
I got my husband to drill a hole through some corks and I put the twine through using a darning needle.
Use your imagination for embellishments. I made material scrap flowers and buttons.
And that's it, your bag is ready to hold a bottle of wine or some homemade preserves.
