I have bought him several covers, but they are 'plastic' and never seem to last; I always say I'm going to take one apart and make him one, but didn't know what to use for the insulation (if nothing else I have learned that from this!). Anyway, I too am very interested in the pattern/instructionsfor the bottle - he would not use a long strap, but rather a 'hand' loop for when he picks it up (he normally rests it in the console between the seats). Looking forward to hearing from you.

Oh and there is another pattern on the net that you could use. I will try to find it. But I don't think it has insulation but you can add it. The pattern I used did not have the insulation. I added it to the pattern. If I can find the pattern I will post it. :D
