Create your own personalize wine glass slippers and never lose your wine glass again!
When you are at a party, sometimes it’s tough to keep track of your wine glass. You set it down to give your bestie a hug and then the next you know the table is full of look-a-like wine glasses and you don’t know which one is yours! This is a quick and easy project to dress up your wine glass and personalize one for everyone at your party.
As a Brother Sews Ambassador I get to create all kinds of sewing projects using the BEST sewing and embroidery machines on the market. There is so much you can do with a Brother machine and some fabric! These wine glass slippers make a great gift or can add loads of personality to your project!
This project is really easy so even beginners can do it! You can use your stemless wine glasses and when this project is completed… use your stemware! If you’re ready, let’s make it!
Supplies:
Brother sewing and embroidery machine
Brother scan n cut
Light weight woven fabric for the top of the slipper
Felt or flannel for the base of the slipper
Adhesive Stabilizer
Scissors
Straight pins
Making it:
First, measure the foot of your wine glass.
On your Scan N Cut, choose the circle pattern and create the same size circle as your wine glass foot.
Give it a ¼ to ½ inch seam allowance which your Scan n Cut will do for you with a simple preset.
Create multiple circles on the design layout; you will need three circles for each wine glass slipper.
Cut the circles from each one of the fabrics you selected using the ScanNCut rotary blade and fabric mat. (photo 8) I’m using a mix of patterned fabrics and plain fabric.
Using adhesive stabilizer in your hoop, place the circles you want personalized on the stabilizer. It is helpful to make a mark where the embroidery should be placed which is just below the center fold of the circle facing out.
Embroider names or sentiments on each circle. Make a name slipper for all your guests and a few extras to use just in case!
Remove finished embroidered circles from the stabilizer.
Sewing the pieces together is easy. Use 3 circles, lay the felt or flannel circle down as the base, fold the other two circles in half and lay the circle with the name on it face down and the other next to it with the folded edges meeting in the middle of the circle.
Sew around the outside edge using your seam allowance as a guide.
Clip around the outer curve so it lays flat when you turn it right side out. Being careful not to clip thru the stitches.
Turn the circle right side out and slip it on your wine glass.
Finish a wine glass slipper for everyone at your party plus a few extras and never mix up who’s glass is whose again.
This is such a quick and easy project that everyone will love. These wine glass slippers also make a great companion to a hostess gift.
