Pattern Description:

Water. It's good for you. No one contends that fact, and living in a dry climate like Colorado makes me appreciate it all the more. I've almost always got a water bottle with me, and a spare in the car, and I try hard to drink as much water as "they" tell me to each day. Looking around, I'm not alone. I see people carrying bottles everywhere I go.

Enter the water bottle cozy. Function and beauty, a great combination. With just a few bits of fabric from your stash, you can show off your style and individuality. Accessorize it with a pocket just the right size to hold a granola bar snack, or a swivel clasp to attach it to your belt or purse strap. The drawstring makes it easy to grab and carry.

Function. The batting insulation really helps to keep your drink cool longer. My sister has been really impressed with how much longer her ice cubes stick around in her drink. Hot weather is a lot more pleasant with something cool to drink nearby!

You can stitch up a couple of these in an afternoon. I've included three sizes in the pattern to fit most bottles, from a disposable water bottle up to a 1 liter Nalgene(r) bottle. Finished sizes are listed on the pattern so you can measure your bottle for the best fit. The pdf pattern has clear, step-by-step instructions with detailed color photos. This pattern is easy for any skill level; I strive to make my patterns easy to understand and fun to complete.
