I'll put some ice in the bottle and let you know what happens. I'll let you know late tonight or tomorrow!

Where there is no insul-bright, the condensation comes through. The pattern calls for the insul-bright to be cut smaller than the fabric so it is not in the seams. Therefore, the bottom edges were wet fairly quickly. Does this feel like it is a waste of the insul-bright?

Here in MI it's humid in the summer and if you carry cold water, there's a lot of condensation. I've thought about making one of these for a while, but carrying around a wet fabric carrier didn't sound appealing. Other than starting with room temp water, I don't know if there's a good solution. I've seen patterns where the carrier is lined with plastic, but not sure what happens where the plastic is pierced by the seam.
I guess look for a nice size double wall insulated aluminum bottle then make the fabric carrier to fit.
They sure are cute!!!!!
