I was given a water bottle, rather a while ago now. And the cover just wasn’t me. Then in one of my travels, I came across a lovely cashmere sweater that wasn’t going to fit me, but I couldn’t leave it behind.

I was going to use that sweater to make a new water bottle cover.

This project has been in my UFO pile for a while now. It was time.    I laid the old water water cover over the sweater and did a rough cut out giving myself about an inch on each side. I tried a few things to mark where I wanted to sew, but nothing was showing up very well. So, I pinned where I wanted to sew and followed the pins around the new cover. A straight stitch for the seam, and a zigzag to make sure it didn’t unravel. It turned out quite well.  Isn’t that cute? And it’s so soft!    Here is is with the water bottle inside of it. It’s all ready for the next time I need to use it.

Happy creating!
