A visit to my friend Pam in Wrightsville Beach prompted me to make a fun gift to take along.
Who'd have thunk! What a great way to use your scraps and those fabrics that just don't "fit" into a quilt!
Here are some of the tacky fabrics and the cool yo-yo's they make......never throw out an ugly fabric ...it's probably perfect for a yo-yo!!!
The colors these weird fabrics include make the yo-yo's very colorful accents to add to any project but perfect for this one.
During the past year when I had idle hand syndrome...especially at night when watching TV I would make yo-yo's hoping to find a fun project to use them in someday!

By zig-zagging the yo-yos together on the 
machine it creates a cool grid.
Here you can see the grid created by zig-zagging in both directions.....
I made a black canvas bag just the right size for carrying one bottle of wine. The yo-yo grid ended up 8 rows of 9 each to connect around the black canvas bag....
After slipping the grid over the bag I stitched the top and bottom to the edges of the bag....
To make the holder/carrier more sturdier...I cut two circles of cardboard and sandwiched them between clear contact paper so the disks would be firm and liquid proof...in case of a sweating wine bottle!!!!!
Here's the cardboard sandwich....
Trim off the extra contact paper......
Insert the covered disk in the bottom of the holder.....
Here is a close up of the yo-yo grid cover over the black canvas bag.....
VOI- LA-LA!!!!!! A fun gift to give a special friend!!!! Colorful and useful!!!!!
You'd never know it was tacky looking fabric!!!!!!!!
A great gift!!!!!
