Water Bottle Holder & Purse Pattern

, by . Leave a Comment

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

Sew Liberated Sewing Pattern – Arenite Pants

I was excited to try out the Arenite Pants pattern from Sew Liberated. And I have to say, I was not disappointed! The pants turned out exactly as described – deep-pocketed, slouchy, and incredibly versatile. I was also impressed by the level of detail in the instructions. The pattern included instructions for French seams, flat-felled seams, and a non-twist elastic waistband, making the final product feel like a well-crafted, made-to-last item.

I appreciated that the pattern was suitable for advanced beginners, as I am still learning the ins and outs of sewing pants. The fit was very forgiving, and I was able to get a great result even with my limited experience. I also appreciated the three leg finishing options – knit cuff, elasticated woven cuff, or a dressier hem – as it allowed me to customize the pants to my own taste.

The suggested fabric, raw silk noil or summery lyocell, made for a luxurious and comfortable pair of pants. I loved the end result and I receive many compliments every time I wear them. I would definitely recommend this pattern to anyone looking to add a new versatile and cozy item to their wardrobe.
