I have been wanting to make a water bottle holder for years - so long that one of the tutorials I had bookmarked popped up with a 404 error when I accessed it (yay for Wayback Machine!). This was a great opportunity to use up the fabric I made from a stack of ¾-inch strips. And then there's the satisfaction of crossing this project off my list.
I find the blues and greens so calming. I really loved the fabric I used for the strap. Unfortunately it was just a little too short - but I found another batik almost the same shade of blue. The difference is hardly noticeable!
I added a lining, which made for a smooth top edge. The bottom inside,
though, has raw edges. I wanted to make sure the lining didn't stick to
a wet bottle and pull out. I figure no one will ever see it.
This will work so much better (and is much prettier!) than the old Kripalu strap I've used for my water bottle for decades. Can't wait to show it off on my next yoga chick weekend.
