Bear Hugs Hot Water Bottle Cover- Rainbow

Cuddles and warm-toastiness await you thanks to this Bear Hugs Hot Water Bottle Cover. Cute Mr. Bear peeks out from between the stripes to say a happy ‘hello’ and the cover is padded, soft and silky smooth to the touch thanks to the 11 different Liberty Tana Lawn® fabrics. Once filled with a bottle radiating warmth and comfort you won’t want to let it go!

Suitable for an advancing beginner sewer, it is constructed using a mixture of techniques which will help to enhance your sewing skills.‘Quilt as you go’ is satisfyingly fast as it allows the strips of fabric to be sewn at the same time as the quilting – two steps in one! The raw edge appliqué technique may be completed either by hand or with a sewing machine, the choice is up to you. It does require a

bit of concentration, but is easily mastered and there is no end to the items you can make with this method of appliqué!

This cover will fit a standard 2 litre hot water bottle.
