The Bag Everyone Is Making This Month! Let’s Make the H2O 2 Go Sling by Linds Handmade!

To be honest, I’m pretty late to this party. I’ve seen makers showing off their H2O 2 Go bags left and right. But when Linds was SO incredibly kind and allowed me to film a tutorial, I jumped on the opportunity! I’ve been dying to make this bag, and it does not disappoint. It’s the bag you never knew you needed. It’s absolutely PERFECT for your loved ones who are always carrying around a water bottle. Trust me, this bag is a huge hit!

Happy Sewing!

Suggestion - when sewing lining and body together- make 2-3 passes over D-ring tabs for extra stability.

You Really did SUCH a great job with this tutorial!! Your instructions and camera work are EXCELLENT & much appreciated by your viewers! Great pattern and such wonderful details to make the PERFECT H2O 2GO tote. Thank you so much for this tutorial.

Why do folks feel the need to give the thumbs down on a tutorial meant only to be helpful? I can understand a thumbs down on controversial topics, but this is not one of those at all. Please be kind and scroll by if this isn’t your cup of tea!

[carolskooge]

I can’t tell you how THANKFUL I was to have this video. You are such a WONDERFUL teacher. Thank you for sharing your great teaching with us. 🙌🏻

Hi Jess, I just love your classes and learn to love you as if you are my own daughter. This bag will change my life forever for the good, and I mean it from the bottom of my heart. Thank you ever so much. Do not stop what you are doing, you are kind and unique and a born teacher.

I was going to sign up for an expensive 2 day class at my local sewing studio because I was too intimidated to try making this bag but your easy to follow step by step video guided me through and somehow I successfully completed my first H2O2GO bag! Thank you so much! You are the best! My strap came out a bit wonky since I cannot sew straight so I decided to use my serger with the knife off to finish the edges and that improved the look immensely plus I have some in the hoop embroidery strap end files I will use to finish it.

“Snug as a bug in a rug”. i haven’t heard anyone say that in so long. Love it!

[LazyIRanch]

I LOVE this! This project will make an excellent gift for literally anyone who isn't in a coma, as we all drink water!
I've been trying to think of something not too complicated to make for men and this really fits the bill. I have several colors of cotton webbing I bought years ago to make halters for my horses. I no longer have horses, so I have plenty left over. I love that I already have everything I need to make this, today! Well, after I finish the bowl cozies I'm making for my sister's BFF.

Thanks for the tutorial on the H2O 2 GO SLING pattern by Linds Handmade. I used a waterproof canvas with rubber backing on the outside and a thick waterproof lining. All went well apart from when I did the bottom - a few minor creases and a bit mis-shaped but still useable. Will try out different fabrics next time and do the purse option. The slip pocket is deep enough to keep sunglasses or spectacles. I had some 1” cotton webbing which I used for the strap. Great pattern and quite quick to come together. Thanks again Jess and Linds for a fabulous make.

Love this water bottle sling. Going to start this in the morning

I've been reluctant to sew this bag, but after watching your tutorial video, I think I can do it! Thank you again, Jess. You are one of my favorite sewing teachers!

[antiquelady]

So THAT'S how you do those gusseted pockets! So cute! When I get a few more bags under my belt I'm definitely going to try this.

[leslieeubank]

Thanks for creating this tutorial using fabric with waterproof canvas! I have the cutest dog fabric I want to use (as this is the bag I would take when walking/hiking with my dog)!

[sherylloyd]

I just decided I would make this bag H2O to go for my daughter Charlotte her birthday is in 2 weeks and was wondering if Jess has a tutorial for it and voila it showed up the next day. I watch your videos everyday and appreciate passion and energy and you are a great teacher

[LindsHandmadeDesigns]

Thanks for your great tutorial! Love how it turned out

[tammyclegg]

Made my first h2o 2 go bag... I'm still breathing.. was tougher than I imagined but I am new at this! I will try try try until I master it!! Great video as always!!

[allaboutthehamiltons]

This is THE BEST tutorial I have seen for this bag.

[carolineirwin]

I love that you are okay with imperfection! That is what makes sewing so much fun! You can create things with character and often they are one of a kind! Thanks for another wonderful tutorial. ❤️🥰
