Conveniently carry a water bottle or tumbler!! I made a sling crossbody bag with a bottle holder. It’s a small bag that’s just the right size to hold a cell phone or wallet, so it’s great for going out lightly. My detailed and friendly tutorial will help you make your own bottle sling bag.
The finished measurements of this bag are approximately 5″(12.5㎝) W × 8″(20㎝) H × 4″(10㎝) D.

Attach the outer and lining to the other side of the zip the same way.
Open out, press pieces away from and top stitch on both 1/8” away from the zipper.
Place the zipper panel between the lining and the outer layer of the side panel. Sew both ends.
