Whether you’re heading out for a hike or just a day sightseeing, a water bottle and a phone are a must. Even if you’re traveling light, it’s critical to stay hydrated and to keep a phone with you to take all the photos. But water bottles are heavy and kind of awkward to carry. Emily at Life Sew Savory has a free sewing pattern to make this water bottle carrier that’s perfect for sightseeing and hiking.
This is such a great design! Not only does it have a pocket that holds your water bottle, there’s also another pocket that holds a phone. Now you can keep your most essential summer sightseeing items right with you and hands free.
The strap on this water bottle carrier is nice and wide to be comfortable on your shoulder. Because who wants to deal with a strap digging into their shoulder? The water bottle pocket has a drawstring closure that keeps your bottle from slipping out but it also easy to open and close. The phone pocket has a zipper for a more secure closure. With all of these handy features, this bag is sure to become your go-to water bottle carrier for whenever you travel.

Exposure to mold in water bottles can lead to a variety of health problems, particularly for individuals with compromised immune systems or respiratory conditions. Inhaling or ingesting mold spores can trigger allergic reactions, exacerbate asthma symptoms, and even cause fungal infections in severe cases. Furthermore, mold-produced toxins known as mycotoxins can contaminate the water, posing additional health risks when consumed.
