WATER BOTTLE CARRIERS
Make custom water bottle carriers for your next family outing! Your HUSQVARNA® VIKING® AMBER™ Air S|600 coverlock machine, the perfect complement to your HUSQVARNA® VIKING® sewing machine, offers stitch techniques that allow you to create a unique design for each bottle carrier, making them easily distinguishable from one another. Try color blocking fabrics with flatlock stitches, adding trim with triple coverstitching, and sewing bold topstitching using the chainstitch. This project also provides a way to use some of your leftover fabrics from previous projects! Because water bottles come in a wide range of sizes and shapes, these instructions are designed to offer general guidelines for how you can create a customized carrier for your specific water bottle, including how to measure fabric for your preferred bottle size. The carrier can be worn over the shoulder or as a cross-body style, so adjust the strap length as desired. Happy Hiking!
