Time: approx. 1 – 1.5 h  including preparation and cutting (depending on your level of advancement)

Difficulty level: 2

Materials: waterproof polyester, nylon, cordura, preferably something waterproof and strong, something to insulate the inside of the case (thermal bag from a supermarket, foam, aluminium foil, space blanket, a piece of tape, a plastic stopper, a piece of thinner string / preferably a thicker round rubber , a half-ring and a snap hook(optional)

  1. The pattern consists of a round bottom and a rectangle sewn around it. Below you will find a printout in A4 format, just download and save this JPEG file. For larger bottles, the circle can be englarged.

Draw the bottom with a seam allowance, measure the height of the bottle and the bottom circumference.

REMEMBER TO ADD SEAM ALLOWANCE TO THE RECTANGLE!

Cut the bottom and the rectangle x 2 and the same from the insulating material

Cut also two narrower rectangles – one will be the trimming to the top edge, the other will be an “INNER COLLAR”. These rectangles must be about 2 cm longer than the main rectangle or they will fold inwards.

2. Sew the rectangles on the short side

Then sew a bottom to each of them.

To one part that is sewn together, zigzag the insulation to the bottom so that it does not move.

3. The thermal layer is best sewn on the long side (if possible, using the machine, if not – by hand) so that it holds the shape well.

Then put it inside one of the parts of the sewn case, optionally cut it so that it is shorter from the top by about a centimeter than the main fabric.

4. Bottle holder collar. Fold it twice and sew the shorter sides, then do the same with the longer sides. The order must be strictly followed, because the upper, longer fold is to create a tunnel for the elastic band/string.

5. Put the case together: put the insulation into one part that is sewn and put the other part so that it is the right side inside. Then slide the collar inside and sew its raw edge with zigzag stitch.

6. Attach the rectangle that is a trimming to the edge of the case, sew it on, wrap it up and sew it on again. Remember about the aesthetic folding of the trimming edge before sewing.

7. Finally, attach a half-ring to the upper edge for a grip.

Finally, insert the string into the collar, put on the stopper and it’s ready!
