Tutorial: Wine bag from a repurposed pants leg

Need a last minute hostess gift? Susan from Organized 31 shows how you can repurpose a pants leg into a wine bag. Brilliant! She uses the pants hem as the top of the bag, and inserts a ribbon into a side seam so you can tie the wine bag shut. You can whip one up in just minutes, and then drop by the store on the way to the party to pick up a nice bottle of wine to put inside. Go to Organized 31 for the tute.
