"so I have looked EVERYWHERE for a pattern/template or tutorial for a zippered bottle koozie but cannot find any. I found all sorts of tutorials patterns for can koozies and insulated water bottle holders but nothing for a zippered bottle koozie.You'd normally see them as promotional items being given out free....usually made of neoprene or scuba material. I'd really like to see about making these. Do you know why there arent any instructions on them /or maybe show me the way to one."

Once you get started, sashiko embroidery is a really calming and relaxing activity. I love how my sashiko pillow enhances my other handmade pillows to bring a boho vibe to my living room. Let's get started! Here's a tutorial on how to make a Sashiko Japanese Embroidery Cushion. "
