"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."

"Sewing with PDF patterns and rotary cutters means you need something to hold down all that pattern paper, use this beginner sewing tutorial to make mini pattern weights out of fabric scraps. A great gift to make for a sewist; custom pattern weights are quick and easy to sew. Follow the photo walk through tutorial and see how to make them with just a few seams, fill them up so they're heavy and start working on your other projects!"
