Repurpose Old Used Lace Curtain in a Wine Bottle Cover

I will admit right here, right now that I dumpster dive. It's difficult for me to see a promising pile set out at curb-side and not investigate.

It was in a pile set on the curb that I found several lace curtain panels I washed, folded and set aside until I could find a new purpose for them like this cute wine bottle cover tied with a discarded ice skate shoe lace.

Pattern: Take a sheet of newspaper, unfold it and lay the bottle on its side then with a pencil or marker trace the perimeter of the bottle holding the pencil straight up (90 degrees to the paper) and against the glass bottle.

It doesn't have to be perfect.

Cut the paper pattern about a half an inch outside the line you drew then  wrap the pattern around the bottle to ensure there's enough material for the seam.

It took a couple of times of drawing then cutting before the paper overlapped enough for a decent size seam.

Sew it: Fold the top of the cover over about a quarter of an inch and stitch then fold the entire cover in half long ways with the inside of the cover facing out.

Stitch a quarter inch seam the length of the cover then slip it over a wine bottle.

Bow: Weave the shoe lace through the holes in the lace curtain, tie a bow then clip the ends if they're too long.

Keep for yourself, slide over a full bottle of wine for the host and hostess of a party or give as a gift.
