DIY Wine Gift Bags

Get in the holiday mood and make wine bottle gift bags


What you’ll create

Get in the holiday mood and make wine bottle gift bags – the perfect thing to dress up the beverages you’ll bring to Thanksgiving and all of your seasonal get-togethers. During the class you will create one or two reusable eco-friendly fabric bottle bags while learning how to sew a French seam and a box bottom. There will be a variety of fabric designs to choose from. All materials are supplied.

Basic sewing machine skills are required. The techniques learned in this workshop can easily be adapted to other shapes and sizes of bag.

Class FAQ

We ask that you notify us at least 10 days in advance of a class if you need to cancel your registration. You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 days’ notice, we will not be able to provide refunds, due to our contractual obligations and material purchases for each class.

Sometimes, the Sonoma Community Center has to cancel a class due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances, such as a natural disaster or health emergency. If this happens and we do not offer a reschedule date, you will be refunded 100% of your registration fee (minus the payment processing and services fee), or credit towards a future class. If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.

All credits must be used within 1 year.
