Wanting to Learn How to Sew Clothes
If you are one of those people who have always loved thinking of new and creative ways that clothes could be designed, then you may want to consider learning how to sew clothes. Sewing is a pretty basic thing once you get the hang of it so all you have to do is get yourself started. Whether it is learning how to sew leather or cotton, the general concept is usually all the same. When it comes to learning how to sew clothes though, you are going to want to try and make sure that you are starting with some scrap fabric first. This way your mistakes will not cost you as much money as working on something like better material would.
Learning how to sew clothes can be both an exciting and scary time all at once but you have to just roll with the punches and stick in there. That is the only way to make it through to the point that you are completely comfortable and sure about your own ability to sew. At that point you will be so good at what you do that you could teach someone else how to sew clothes so that other people can enjoy the hobby. Until then though your job is to simply keep practicing so that you can become very good at it.
Where To Get The Teachings
A lot of people start out by simply reading a book or two on how to sew clothes. There are also a lot of different magazines out there that cater specifically to people who want to learn how to sew clothes. These types of magazines can do a lot of good for people who are really trying to learn how to sew clothes. If you find that by reading these types of books and magazines that you are not learning enough then it is probably time to get some one on one teaching from someone that is skilled in the art of sewing.
There are a lot of places that a person can go to for classes on how to sew clothes and the prices are generally reasonable. Most times, these classes can be found at the local library or through a craft store. Be sure to look around for these classes on how to sew clothes so that you can get started on your new hobby. And once you learn enough from the classes you can then go off on your own to do what you want.

Are there any patterns to sew as a cover for a large Sigg bottle?
Hi! I am looking for a pattern to sew for my large Sigg bottle. I have found crocheted and knitted patterns, but no sewing patterns. Do you have any sites to share?
I am not looking for 'tote bag' style - that is, open top with handles on the top, but something that closes around the mouth a bit, and can be opened (either pull-string or velcro).
I am going to try and create something myself, but if I could base it on a pattern it might save some time. I have insulated batting I will be using as well.
Thanks!
I would give you both the "best answer" if I could. Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it, and will try both the pattern links provided and to create my own... Happy New Year! :)
Why not make your own pattern? One of the simplest ways to make a closely fitted pattern for someone or something is to wrap it in plastic wrap, then cut along where there will be seams. Don't forget to add a bit of ease, and seam allowances.

psst: consider avoiding a lot of the sturm und drang of making multi-layered patterns and use something like one of the insulated soft-shell fabrics or Polartec 300 to make a single layer bag that is both insulating and stretchy.
