Made these water bottle holders for my kids to use during our trips this summer. We were outside a LOT so water bottles were a must!
Most holders I’ve done were made of a lace or mesh pattern, but I wanted these to have some insulating power, so I used a solid single crochet for the whole thing, which seemed to work because even when we spent 8+ hours out and about no one complained about hot water! And as you can see, the water bottles have no built-in insulation, so I’m pretty happy about that.
I also equipped each holder with a pocket, which came in very handy. Overall, a successful project!

First dress went well, so I made another one! This one took so much more time, but it turned out cute!

Looks like a mess right now😅

Might’ve messed this whole thing up😅
Put an extra layer in the back to provide more surface area and make it more stable when standing, but now it’s too heavy in the back and won’t stand up at all!
Hoping I can fix it…🥴

Hand-sewing the hem. How’s it look?

Wanted to try a fabric and crochet dress, and my daughter requested a halter top, so here it is! I did the skirt and top separately and sewed them together once they were both done.
I want to try something else in the next couple weeks where I start crocheting directly from the fabric, but first I got another dress request to fulfill.😅
