Sewing: How to Make a Water Bottle Bag

Don't let your water bottle tie up your precious hand real estate this summer. Just follow Ann's simple instructions and keep your hands water bottle free with this nifty bag made out of a pair of child's jeans.

You will need a sewing machine for this project.

I love fabric. And sewing machines. I have 500 sq. feet of fabric in big plastic tubs and 9 sewing machines. It seemed logical to start teaching sewing lessons in order to pay for the care and feeding of my fabric and machines so I opened The Stitching Studio in Austin, Tx. Visit me on the web at http://www.homesewnow.com and of course - download a MindBite!

love my nalgene!

This video is a little long. I think it could be chopped into two different 10 minute videos (Part I and II) or maybe shortened into one 10 minute video. And it would be nice if it had directions on how to hand sew the bag together instead of just with a machine. Maybe that's how the video could be separated into two, Part I: HAND SEWN WATER BOTTLE BAGS and Part II: MACHINE SEWN WATER BOTTLE BAGS. Or WATER BOTTLE BAGS: Sewing and Assembling.

The audio has some distracting movement sounds. If those could be eliminated I think the video would look more professional.

But my main concern is will it fit my Nalgene water bottle? It's a little bit bigger than an average plastic water bottle and so I would need to know what the larger measurements for the fabric would be.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Ann! I look forward to seeing more from you!
