Materials

Fusible fleece interfacing 1/3 yard
Coordinating thread
Instructions
Cut out the fabric and interfacing for your water bottle holder using the guide. Measurements are marked width-x-height.
You'll need two pieces for the outer fabric. They will be sewn together to form the color block.
You'll also need a lining piece and a piece of interfacing the same size.
You'll need 3 circles. One from each fabric and also one from the fleece interfacing.
You'll need 2 strap pieces that are 3" x the length suggested in the guide and a matching piece of interfacing
This water bottle holder will fit any 12 oz. disposable water bottle.
Sew the 3.25" band and 5.25" piece together using a 1/4" seam allowance.
Press seam open.
Fuse (iron) the 11" x 8" piece of interfacing to the back of the outer piece.
Top stitch across the 3.25" band.
Fold both the lining piece and outer piece over 1/2" on the top edge (folding toward the back).
Iron.
Fold your outer piece in half and stitch the side seam.
Repeat for lining piece.
Fuse circle of interfacing to the bottom of your outer circle fabric (turquoise, in this case).
Line up and pin to the bottom of your outer piece.
Repeat for lining piece.
Turn outer piece right side out.
Leave lining inside out.
Place your lining section inside the outer section, lining up side seams.
Set aside.
Fuse (iron) interfacing to the back of one of the strap sections.
With right sides together, and the interfacing on top, stitch side seams, leaving ends open.
Turn right side out.
Top stitch down the length of the strap several times for stability. I lined up my pressure foot to the edge and used that as a guide.
Slide straps in-between outer and lining sections. Pin in place.
Pin all the way around, lining outer and lining sections a that top.
