Water Bottle Holder & Purse Pattern

If you are like me then you carry a water bottle everywhere you go, this purse is a great dual action bag and would be perfect for traveling too. You could make these is masculine designs for sports bags and biking bags too.

This is an intermediate sewing pattern, in that it uses advanced bag-making techniques that require the sewer to have a general familiarity with bag making. It requires accurate cutting/sewing and installing a curved zipper which can be challenging for new sewers. You can purchase this sewing pattern here Via Etsy.

Specs: roughly 11″ tall at its tallest (along the sides) with an oval base that is 6″ wide by 4 inches deep. The interior compartment is left wide open so as to accommodate all different sized water bottles

When was the last time you cleaned your water bottle? Beneath the surface of these seemingly innocuous containers lies a potential health hazard that many of us overlook: mold.

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.

How often should you clean your water bottle? it’s recommended to clean your water bottle thoroughly after each use. I know how overlweming the thought of that could be, so I set out to find a quick and easy solution, these bottle cleaning tablets, drop into your bottle, let sit for 20 mins then rinse and your bottle is all clean.

I am just smitten with this felt gingerbread house bag. This would make such a sweet special Christmas accessory for a kid. It’s a free pattern at Benzie Design, designed by Gracie from Hello Gracie Makes. It’s packed with adorable gingerbread house details, like swirls and stripes and scallops adoring the doors and windows.

And while all those details might seem like this would be a complicated pattern, it’s actually not. The bag itself is made from felt, which makes finishes edges unnecessary. (All of those scalloped edges are just cut from felt, no edge finishing required.) The strap is super simple, made from rope with knotted ends. And all those details are made with some basic hand embroidery stitches. Sparkle felt makes it extra cute.

The striped scallop roof is actually the top flap of the bag. A magnetic snap makes it a secure closure. The rope straps are attached through felt loops at the side of the bag.

They rate this project as an intermediate level, and it should take about 6 hours to make start to finish. That’s doable for a Saturday project or a couple of evenings. Full color photos step you through the entire process.

The project includes a shopping list for all of your supplies. They’ve got a shop so you can order all of them from Benzie if you like and get exactly the supplies used in the project. I noticed it includes a pair of scallop shears, which makes cutting all the scalloped edges for the roof and around the door a breeze.

Finished dimensions of the little felt gingerbread bag are approximately 6 ½” wide x 7 ½” tall. That’s the perfect size to hold a small book, a small toy, or a notepad and some cute pens.
