How to sew a custom bottle cover

Namaste!

This is the supporting blog post for our second sewing project video tutorial on our new youtube channel... How to sew a custom bottle cover. We looked at primarily two sources while coming up with this one:

• Bottle cover picture tutorial by Melly Sews
• Baby bottle cover video tutorial by So Sew Easy

The dimensions for fabric for one bottle cover are as follows:

• One rectangle of main fabric
• Width = largest cirumference on the bottle + 1.5 in (4cm)
• Length = Height of bottle - 1in (2.5cm))
• One rectangle from inner fabric with the same dimensions as above
• One circle outer fabric drawn by tracing 0.5in (1cm) out of the actual largest circumference on the bottle
• One circle inner fabric with the same dimension as above
• (Optional) One rectangle of fusible fleece or interfacing with 0.5in (1cm) less all around dimensions of the fabric rectangles we cut before
• (Optional) One circle of fusible fleece or interfacing with the same circumference as the largest circumference on our bottle
• For longer strap 
• For a kid - a rectangle each from inner and outer fabrics with width = 2.5in (6.5cm) and length 33in (84cm)
• For an adult - a rectangle each from inner and outer fabric with width = 2.5in (6.5cm) and length 58in (147cm) or desired length
• (Optional) - a rectangle of fusible fleece or interfacing with width = 1.5in (4cm) and length equal to fabric strap
• For shorter strap 
• For a kid - a rectangle each from inner and outer fabrics with width = 2.5in (6.5cm) and length 10in (25cm)
• For an adult - a rectangle each from inner and outer fabric with width = 2.5in (6.5cm) and length 12in (30.5cm) or desired length
• (Optional) - a rectangle of fusible fleece or interfacing with width = 1.5in (4cm) and length equal to fabric strap

How to sew a mounted front envelop back cushion / pillow cover

Namaste!

We are back with a new tutorial for everyone. And best of all, we made a video for all you guys so you can follow through with us.

You will need:

• Measurements of your cushion / pillow form. Ours is 15"x15" (38x38 cm)
• Add half an inch all around to these measurements. So ours becomes 15.5"x15.5"(39.5 x 39.5cm)
• Now calculate two thirds of the measurement of the longer side of your piece. Ours is a square so we have only one measurement. So (15.5*2)/3 = 10.5"(27cm). Add half an inch for seam allowance here = 11" (28cm)
• Now we need to cut three pieces from our fabric: one will be the exactly 15.5"x15.5", and two will be 11"x15.5"

From here onwards you can follow on with our video:

The pair of cushion covers that are featured at the end of our video are available through our handmade items' etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/448691884/one-of-a-kind-hand-painted-and-pieced?ref=shop_home_active_1
