Hola amigos de #needlewormonday bienvenidos a mi blog. | Hello friends of #NeedleworkMonday, welcome to my blog!.
This time I'm sharing a great idea that you'll love for your water bottles—a handy tote bag to carry them in. This practical tote bag is very convenient, and you can use leftover fabric scraps you have at home, making the most of those fabric pieces. I made one for my largest water bottle, but you can easily make one for any size bottle; just take the measurements and cut the fabric accordingly.
I know you'll appreciate the tutorial, so before I explain how I made it, here's a list of the materials I used, in case you want to gather them before you start making it yourself. 🥰

Pasos a seguir: | Steps to follow:
Paso 01
Step 01
We start by cutting a rectangle measuring 29 cm long x 40 cm wide; this will be for the outer casing of the insulated container. Then, we cut a circular piece of fabric for the bottom, placing the container on top and allowing for a 1 cm seam allowance all around. We will also cut another rectangle for the lining, and another circle for the bottom of the lining, using the same fabric. I cut pieces of fabric for the bias binding trim for the front of my tote bag; you can make the square any size you like—I made mine 10 cm long x 10 cm wide.
Paso 02
Step 02
Next, I will sew the bias-cut trim piece to the front of the lining. We will sew it along the bottom edge and then fold it over and stitch it down along the top edge. Then, we will pin it in place on top of the rectangular piece. After that, we will sew both sides of the trim, folding it over and stitching it down along the top edge with a double row of stitching. Finally, we will secure the two ends of the circular piece with a pin.
Paso 03
Step 03
Next, we'll sew the lining, starting with the sides. Then, we'll sew the front piece, making sure to sew it from the inside. After that, we'll turn each piece right side out; we should have two cylinders. At this point, I'll measure the thermos against my tote bag to see if it fits. If it doesn't fit, I can adjust the size of the bag. If it fits well, there's no need to sew it. Now, we'll take the lining fabric and fold it inside, making sure the seam is on the inside, not the outside. Then, we'll align the edges of both fabrics around the circumference of the cylinder and sew along the entire edge to join them. Finally, we'll add the bias binding to cover the raw edges and give it a finished look.
Paso 04
Step 04
Finally, after sewing the bias binding all around the edge, it will look like in the first photo. Then, we will sew the handle to the top, securing it with pins. Next, we will attach the strap to the tote bag. I made this strap 20 cm long and 8 cm wide, but you can make it any length that suits your needs or preferences. We will place it in the center, where the bias binding is sewn on the front. I added double stitching to my tote bag for extra reinforcement. And that's it! After removing the pins, the tote bag is ready to use.
Resultado: | Result:
Okay friends, here's what this handy tote bag looks like. This is how it looks with the thermos inside. I filled it with water to show you how much weight it can hold. My thermos is 2 liters, so with the extra reinforcement or stitching I added, it can easily support the weight. Now I can carry it anywhere I want, because honestly, the handle on my thermos broke off, so it was hard to carry, but this tote bag solves that problem.
