How to Make a Bottle Holder Bag

Step 1:

Get C, K, and O. Mark the center on the top long side of O, then mark 2″ away on both sides. From the center, measure 1 1/4″ down, then rotate the ruler horizontally on that mark and mark the ends.

Measure 1 1/4″ from the bottom center and mark. Measure 2″ on both sides and mark.

Connect the points in a curved line just like in the photo below. Measure the curved line. It should be 10 3/4″. Cut it out.

Place the C and K right sides together (with C on top), then place the cut fusible on top. Press with an iron. Cut the excess fabrics leaving 1/4″ seam allowance.

Sew C with fusible on a crisscross pattern. These curved shapes will be the bottom piece.

Step 2:

Get B and place N on the wrong side centered. Next, get A and place M on the wrong side centered. Press with an iron. Flip them over and sew on a crisscross pattern.

Step 3:

Get D, G, L, and P. Place each P on the wrong side of D and L. Make sure they are centered. Press with an iron. Place them on top of the two G rectangles right sides together. Sew them on the top edge of the fusible, then open and fold on the right side. Top stitch on the folded edge.

Step 4:

Take I and E, then J and F. Place E on top of I, and F on top of J right sides together. Sew on the edge with a 1/4″ seam allowance. Press seams open.

Step 5:

Place the small piece from step 3 on top of the long piece from step 2 with the bottom aligned. Let’s call this unit A. Do the same with the small piece from step 3 and the long piece from step 4. Let’s call this unit B. Make sure they are the same fabrics. Sew on the sides and bottom of the small pieces.

Step 6:

Sew the long sides of unit A on the short sides of the big piece from step 2. Next, sew the bottom piece C with a 1/4″ seam allowance. Flip it right side out.

Step 7:

Sew the ends of the strap on both sides.

Step 8:

Sew the long sides of unit B on the short sides of the big piece from step 4 with a 1/4″ seam allowance, making sure to leave an opening on one side. Sew the bottom piece K with a 1/4″ seam allowance.

Step 9:

Insert the front of the bag inside the lining, then sew on the top edge with a 1/4″ seam allowance. Flip it right side out through the opening. Close the opening.

Step 10:

Top stitch the top edge.
