August 9, 2007 by suzi hollihan

These can be made for any size bottle you may have, just adjust the cutting size.

Debbie Colgrove
7/7/04

Bring your own beverage to parades and community events and keep them cold.

Here you’ll find insulated bottle totes in various sizes for most popular water and soda bottles. Here is a way to keep that drink cold!

Materials

  • fabric
  • light weight fleece or quilt batting
  • 1/4″ wide elastic
  • Optional: 1″ wide nylon webbing for strap
  • Optional: Hook and loop tape
  • Thread

    Cutting
    Construction

    1. Place batting on wrong side of the fabric, matching the edges and covering half of the fabric. Place batting on wrong side of the fabric, matching one edge and covering half of the fabric.
    2. Quilt the batting area.
    3. Optional: Attach the belt or bike strap – Find full directions here
    4. Fold with wrong sides together and align the long edges. Sew a 1/4″ seam.
    5. Press Open
    6. Place the elastic around the tube, matching the ends of the elastic to the top of the batting and seam allowance edges. Sew the elastic at the seam line, back-stitching to reinforce the stitching.
    7. Fold the wrong sides together, enclosing the batting. Zig zag the raw edge.
    8. Pin the elastic to the fold and topstitch 1″ from the folded edge.
    9. Layer the two circle pieces with a piece of batting. Zig zag the edges together.
    10. Match the circle to the zig zagged edge of the tube. Sew with a 1/4″ seam.
    11. Turn inside out so the seam allowance is inside.
    12. ENJOY!

    Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

    The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

    It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

    Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
