This pouch is great for carrying
a bottle of water when on short walks.
It is simple to construct, and is
made up of three parts:
tube;
under panel;
and
shoulder
strap.
The tube consists of a rectangle
of fabric measuring 34 centimetres in width by 23 centimetres length. This
includes a one centimetre seam allowance on all sides. To this rectangle I
applied iron-on wadding. The finished circumference of the tube is 32 centimetres,
and the finished length is 21 centimetres. The tube is lined.
The under panel when finished
measures eight centimetres in width, and the length is 22 centimetres. This is
machine stitched in place. The technique used for this machine embroidered
mosaic panel is described in the Mosaic Tutorial.
At the top of the tube there are
two fabric loops that enclose chromed metal rings. The clip on shoulder strap
is clipped to these rings. The finished height of these loops is three centimetres
long by 2½ centimetres wide, and they also feature the mosaic technique. The
shoulder strap came from a travel bag.
