Ripstop - Cut one piece of fabric from the circle template and one piece 10” wide and 19 3/8” long.

To calculate the rectangle that goes around the bottle, I used 2r as the circumference of a circle (to determine the length of the rectangle).

Batting - The batting that I used for my project was repurposed lining material from a Misfits Market box (a blemished organic product subscription box service). The company lines their boxes with this material to insulate produce during shipping. The batting material is recycled sewing threads, lint, and small fabric scraps that have been pressed together. If you don’t have access to this same material, you can use traditional quilting batting or any other material you have on hand to insulate. The thickness of my material is approximately 1”. If you don’t have batting this thick, you could layer multiple pieces of batting together to get a 1” width. If your sewing machine can’t handle sewing this thickness, you could hand sew the batting together.

Cut one piece of batting from the circle template and one piece 7” wide and 19 3/8” long.

I kept the batting separate from the ripstop bag (so the outer bag can be removed and easily washed).

Directions:

For the batting and ripstop, use fabric clips to align the rectangle around the circle.

With a ¼” seam allowance, sew around the circle first (leaving an opening at the side seam) and then sew up the side seam. I then sewed the side seam to the remaining circle as the last step. For the side seam, I used a ¾” seam allowance, trimmed the excess fabric and finished the seams with a serger.
