The best sewing ideas come from everyday life, that’s clear. From our real needs, for which we create solutions that work and that we like. Summer has been especially inspiring in that regard, but the ideas we’re bringing you today are for all year round: whether it’s hot or cold.
One of the most common summer activities is getting away to the beach, the countryside, or the mountains… We take long walks, trade the city for nature, and enjoy the nice weather. But in these situations, especially if you’re going on a walking or cycling route, you need to be well prepared. Even more so if you’re going as a family.
So we’ve completed our beach-and-mountain kit with an insulated bag for drinks that will be incredibly useful.
insulated bags for food and drinks
It’s the newest project from Lulu Ferris: an insulated crossbody-style bag for carrying drinks.
Although the inspiration for this tutorial was the need to keep drinks cool in the summer, insulated bags also become very useful when it’s cold—for carrying hot coffee or tea to work or wherever you feel like going.
Important details that will make you love this idea:
- We show you how to make it whatever size you want, using the bottle or container of your choice as a reference. For kids, too!
- It has an adjustable strap so you can wear it crossbody, making it very comfortable to carry.
- It closes at the top with a cord and toggle, so you can put the bottle in and take it out very easily, even with one hand.
- Insulated bags are often made with pretty poor taste, but you can make this one just as beautiful as ours.
The same goes for the insulated bag for carrying food, which you can also learn to make with the tutorials from Lulu Ferris. Imagine wanting to bring food that needs to stay cold and spoils in the heat. Or the opposite: bringing a prepared meal and keeping it warm.
