Hello Crafties!
If you like to stay hydrated as much as I do, you probably own a water bottle or two. I personally move a lot and enjoy having a good amount of water on hand while I'm out and about. In September, I invested in a Coldest 64 ounce water bottle because I was tired of always running out of ice in my old ones or having them break. Let me just say, this bottle is by far the best one I've ever had.
I've been able to keep ice in mine for 3 whole days, it's leak proof, it doesn't sweat, and the color is just *chef's kiss*. However, this size bottle does carry a little weight and I just realized that I'd ripped my little carry bag with it . So, I sat up on a free day and stitched up this carrier.
