Beginner-Friendly 2-Way Fabric Bottle & Tumbler Carrier Tote
Let’s sew a reusable fabric carrier that fits water bottles, tumblers, and even a wine bottle.
With a quick pull of the strap, it switches from a handheld tote to a comfy shoulder sling—perfect for errands, picnics, or gifting.
The construction is straight-stitch friendly, making it ideal for beginners who want a quick win.
You can upcycle fabric scraps and customize the height or diameter to match your favorite bottle.
Grab your machine and a cup of tea—this is a relaxing, practical make you’ll reach for again and again.
The finished measurements of this bag are approximately
9㎝(3⅝″) W × 25㎝(9⅞″) H × 9㎝(3⅝″) D.
