The slip and zip pocket hack, replacing the curved zip pocket, and the box bottom hack which replaces the oval shaped base.
You will need to purchase the pattern from Linds Handmade which can be found here

I love your video style! No annoying background music; calm, professional voice without unnecessary chit chat; no long introduction. Please keep making videos ❤
That!
I would love to see you doing more tutorials, you have a natural gift for it, so clear and easy to follow - I have subscribed and have the alert bell on, so will look forward to seeing more of your makes!
I love this tutorial. You did a great job, and I love the way you FINALLY simplified this hack. I struggle through putting the pieces together and you figured it out! Cut all the rectangles and then add the curves at the END. #genius! I'm here for your next tutorial. Thanks!
Thank you for this great video. It is one of the best videos I have seen with the front and bottom hacks. I love how you didn't cut the curves until the front was completely sewn. And not adding the pull until the front panel is finished. Genius! Love Love this video. Please make more!
I second what was said. Not cutting the scallop edges until after front panel was complete was genius!. The simplified hardware blew my mind! I might need to redo my hardware shopping list. May I request that you shoot in landscape mode next time? I subbed also. Thank you!
This is a perfect tutorial; you did an excellent job and I hope to see more. The hack is by far the best one I have seen for this bag. You are a very talented young lady!!!
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your style of teaching! You speak beautifully to start with, but aside from that, I appreciate not being spoken to, like in many tutorials, as if they are teaching a 4 year old. Baby talk, unnecessary repetitive instruction, going over and over and over the same point is so annoying! Not to mention speeding through and not explaining things properly, but talking nonstop about nothing important, just drives me crazy. Obviously, some people were never meant to teach. You on the other hand, are an excellent teacher. I've subscribed and look forward to more tutorials like this one. You explain the step clearly, show how it's done, and under 30 minutes!!! YOU are AMAZING! Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much. So lovely to hear. ❤️ I was just making a quick tutorial as people kept asking about this hack and needing to see it in video form. I had no idea people would like my video style so much 😂.
It is hard to find a balance between over and under explaining but I am glad you liked it.
I wasn't planning on making more but I decided to try and do another tutorial for my latest sew and it's on the way. Just have to do the voice overs. I hope you like the new one too 😊.
@@whatastitchup.creations I'm sure it will be wonderful! Maybe you could also do a tutorial on the best way to successfully install a recessed zipper. There are different ways, I just want to learn the most efficient way where it works perfect every time. I've been looking and have seen one video that is 1 hour 47 minutes, to install a zipper! Uuuugghhh! There's others that are just too much talking, not enough "showing", that I don't have the patience to watch. I already know how to install a recessed zipper, I'm just looking for a fool proof method that works for every bag without having to refer to a pattern. Whenever you have time, I for one would love a recessed zipper tutorial from you! Thx so much!
I loved your tutorial! Like the others have said, you have a natural gift and this has been the best tutorial for the hacks that I've seen! Thank you! Can't wait to see what else you do!
This is my favorite hack of this bag!! Excellent tutorial. You should do more.... you have a gift!
Love your video! Going to try this tomorrow- your voice is so soothing and love the straight forward video without a lot of unnecessary chatter that has nothing to do with the pattern. Thank you so much! Looking forward to more of your videos!
I have watched, or attempted to watch, as many of these tutorials as I can. BRAVO, I made it through yours AND understood it!! Good job!!
Thank you so much for this wonderful, straightforward tutorial! I am now encouraged that I can accomplish this pattern, and I am going to give it a go! Thank you again!
I love your video. Is there a way not to have the pocket in the boxed bottom? Essentially having the pocket above the box. Just trying to avoid the bulk in the boxed bottom
If you shorten the zipper pocket lining piece about an inch (11" tall) I think it takes it out of the bottom seam. Or if you want to take all of the seams out of the box bottom you could cut the front bottom piece shorter, sew the front assembled pocket rst top and bottom with the slip pocket back piece, flip it out and sew on to the centre piece about 2 inches up. I haven't done it that way as I prefer the seamless look of the front so I'd have a play with it but that's how I would try it.
I too appreciate no unnecessary chatter. Great tutorial, thank you.
This was so helpfull/usefull! I do love the original version, but love this simplified way also. You did an amazing job.
I love the hack video, however, I don’t know any stitch size you use for the most part. I know it is in the original pattern, but not the hack. Do you use 1/4 or 3/8 for seam allowances? Thanks
At the bottom of the description I list the seam allowances I used. 😊 1/4" for the front pocket assembly and 3/8" for the main body assembly.
Love your first video! So can you do the Dayna Fanny pack with the top zipper hack next please? 😂🥰🙏
Loved your tutorial, will definitely try it out. Looking forward to seeing more of your creations 😆
What a great video on the double hack!, have been waiting for this for months. Thank you for putting this together for us visual people. Keep up the good work
Such a GREAT tutorial! I love your pace and what you decided to show on-camera... I actually have issues with the tutorials that we literally get to sit and watch them sew in-real-time or speak at an unusually slow pace. Especially with hack tutorials!!! Like, if we made it to this point, you don't need to teach me how to use my sewing machine..? I definitely subscribed because I didn't have to rage quit 😆😆
Haha thank you. I sort of feel the same way. I know how to sew on my machine and often just want the instructions or steps shown to see how it comes together and if I am interested in trying it. Especially if it's a hack or the original instructions are a bit vague. Glad you didn't rage quit 😊
Great tutorial!!! Wish I saw this before I purchased the plastic templates. Would love to see more from you! I subscribed!
Hello! Question about the seam allowances. When it says the pocket is sewn at 1/4 and the rest at 3/8, does the adding the side panels to the slip pocket piece use 1/4 or 3/8? Thank you!
1/4. The 1st time I use 3/8 is when I sew the back seam of the exterior panel after cutting out the top shape.
Great video. Love your teaching style. Made the original with the round bottom ONLY ONCE it was a nightmare for me. But I really like the functionality of the water carrier
and I am looking forward to trying this. Thanks.
when sewing the lining to the exterior at the tops, do you use 1/4" SA or 3/8" SA?
3/8" but it doesn't matter too much as long as it's consistant all the way around. Have a look next to the strap connectors and see how much space you have there. Sometimes you need to go a little narrower next to those so you don't catch them.
I liked your video the best so far. Very clear explanation, not too much talking, no annoying background music, no wasted time watching a person sew! I want to see what to do and watch myself sew!😂 Thank you very much! Lynn, Louisiana, USA
Excellent tutorial, would love to see more!!!!
I just finished watching your tutorial and I found it VERY HELPFUL!! Thank you 🥴
Great demonstration. This is my preferred style of the H2O so always good to see someone else’s slight differences. I always sew the entire bottom seam then do the square cuts from the seam, instead of drawing the seam and cutting first. But your way would give me straighter seams with the drawn line! I am also glad to learn how to do the sewn in strap too. Thanks!
I actually considered doing your way first but decided by cutting first I could have the back stitch at the beginning and end which holds the bottom seam together when you're pulling open the boxed corners. I hate when the seam starts to undo.
I am so happy I found your channel. I have made several of the original H2O 2GO bags with the curved pocket and round bottom. But this is such a game changer. I can make 4 of these in the amount of time it took to make 1 of the original ones. I had thought about making the changes you’ve done but just never got around to it. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Definitely will be checking out more of your videos. Love the way you teach too!❤😊
Just followed your video tutorial completely to sew my H20 2G0. You make it so easily. I live in Australia and I also have a TH-cam Channel to explain in French (my mother tongue) how to follow an English pattern for bags making. I really enjoyed yours and I thank you for the work you have done for this video. It's really well explained. 💕
Exactly what I was looking for. Perfect for excursions! Great job.
I loved this tutorial! It was straight to the point without any fluff. I also prefer to sew in metric (I am in Canada, but most people still sew in imperial).. I find it more precise. I just took a look at what the original H2O 2GO is supposed to look like and I much prefer your version of the bag. For your very first video, I think you did an excellent job! Keep it up. :)
Many thanks, great hack! Ido t like fitting circle bottoms so this is fabulous!
Hello! Where can I find the cut out instructions for your version of this bag? I do have the original pattern. Thank you!
I've been looking for a pattern that I would like, this is on my to-do list. Thank you!
This was amazing! I made one for my sister for her overseas trip, but felt it was way too bulky on the bottom. Having made older style water bottle holders, I looked forward to seeing one that still had a front zipper but boxed bottom. You were great! I've subscribed to your channel as well! Keep up the good work! Your tutorial was excellent!!! Thank you!

Such an easy to follow tutorial. Thank you.
If you quilted it with batting, the water bottle would be insulated. 💕🌞🌵😷
Great tutorial! Thank you for the really cute and easy hacks!
Thank you!!! I have just made this after only been sewing for 2 weeks. I've tagged you on my fb post for the hack. Your video was so easy to follow and so clear. Please please do more!!
I didn't realize this is your first tutorial! Seriously?!?! Wow 👌 Keep it up girl! You've got a knack for this! Thanks again!
I know, it was hard to believe! I had to pick up my lower jaw when she stated, "This is my first tutorial."
Job extremely well done!
Beautiful bag. Where did you get your fabric?
Thank you I loved it and your tutorial very easy to follow
Yes please do some more. Love it because you are and Aussie🥰🥰🐨🐨🦘🦘
Great job! I'm going to try it! Thank you
Great tutorial. Easy to follow. Please make more. I love to hear an Aussie voice and thank you for sharing your local suppliers.
Thank you for your tutorial. It was so easy to follow. I subscribed and hope to learn more from you. Take care.
Love your video. Do you put Decovil in your bases?
Thanks for a great tutorial I was so excited when I saw this now I can make one. You have a soothing voice and easy to follow 😀
Thank you very much. This was by far the best hack. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for the tutorial. Very easy to follow along. Great job
Great job you were easy to understand and enjoyable to watch more tutorials please !!!
What an awesome tutorial. Please make some more videos …you are so easy to follow I am a visual learner and I really enjoyed your tutorial today.
Thank-you, that was a great tutorial. I plan to make one at least.
Amazing tutorial!! Hope you’ll do more in the future!
This is great! Very professional. Thank you so much.
Ficou lindo! E essa estampa é muito bonita!
FANTASTIC JOB! I hope you'll do more!
Great Tutorial, hope you do more in the future...
So enjoyed your tutorial and actually successfully completed it! Thank you as I’m quite new to sewing. I found that once I have a bottle in the bag, the zipper pocket becomes quite tight and hard to get things in and out of it. Do you have a hack that could enable the zipper pocket to extend when opened? I’ve seen pockets that sort of have a pleat on the side so open up a little more but I wouldn’t have a clue how to adapt a pattern. Such a great job and it’s really nice to not have any annoying music in the background whilst trying to concentrate on what you’re doing and saying.
Hi Cathy, Thank you for your lovely comments. I don't have a massive drink bottle so I don't really have the tightness problem however I've heard others with large drink bottles have had the same. The original pattern solves this problem perfectly. By having the external pocket protruding from the front slightly it gives more room that this slip hack. If you weren't ready to tackle the curved front pocket you could try doing a pleated pocket. I'm not a huge fan as I feel they gape open unless you have a closure at the top. Another option would be to cut all your front pocket pieces a smidge wider (maybe 1/8" or 1/4") then when you baste the centre pocket pieces to the long centre panel (original size) it will pucker out a little bit giving you some extra room. I would even play around with tapering it so only the top is a little wider and keep the bottom 2.5" of the pocket pieces the same so it still sits flush for the base and just before it folds under. I hope that makes sense to you. It's just brainstorming in my head and will prob need a bit of play. Good luck!
I am so grateful to have found this video. It gave me the courage to try out bag making for the first time ever and build some confidence. I fear that had I tried the original pattern (which I still love and hope to work up to someday), my bag making interests would’ve been short lived. Thanks again so much for these awesome hacks!!
Definitely give the original a go too when you are more confident. It is a wonderful pattern. And you can fit more in the original curved pocket too 😊
Wonderful video! You use 1/4 inch to construct the pocket/panel. Do you use 1/4 inch to sew the side panels to it or 3/8? Thanks, this looks SO much easier.
1/4" to add the side panels. Once the whole front panel is complete I use 3/8" to sew the main back seam.
My question too. Glad it was answered Ty
So I used a 1/4 on the whole thing I missed the note on the seam allowance I have my front panel all assembled should I continue using 1/4 on the rest? Also the height of the bag dosnt match the height of the pattern piece? The pattern piece measures at 13 inches after adding the 2 inches to it and the side panels were to be cut at 13 1/2? Also should the liner height be the exact same as the main panel height?
@@whatastitchup.creationshi, it would be most helpful if you added these SA clarifications to your initial instructions please, as I’ve spent well over an hour reviewing your video and reading replies. Many thanks for this brilliant tutorial.
Brilliant tutorial. Keep em comin 😊
Great tutorial and easy to understand. Thank you 😊
Thank you for this tutorial. Very easy to follow.
wonderful job! i agree you are a natural!
Very good tutorial ❤😊
Great tutorial! Very clear and detailed. Only question is does the designer have instructions for different sized bottles? Such as 2 litre and 1 litre bottles?
I have made this in different sizes by printing the pattern at different percentages. You can mix and match different percentages for width and height to suit your personal drink bottles. It's done a lot for kids. The original definitely fits a 1L and maybe up to 1.5L. Depends on the bottle dimensions.
If you do the hack version you don't want to put a huge bottle in as it makes the pocket hard to use.
Very good tutorial.
Wat a great tutorial, thank you so much!
May I ask you what the seam allowance for the main fabric and for lining is ? Thank you for your help
The front pocket is assembled with a 1/4" seam allowance. Once you get to the back seam you switch to 3/8". The lining is 3/8" too.
Thank you so much for adding a video, the pictures and others Hack Notes were totally confusing!
Do you add Batting to the bag?
You can add a batting or fleece but I find with the Wpc liner it doesn't really need it for the structure. But you definitely can if you prefer. If you did a cotton liner you would need some more structure.
Wonderful job! Thank you!
More tutorials please?!? Thank you!
Excellent tutorial! Thank you
Sorry to bother you do you use 3/8 inch when folding your main bag together and the canvas 😀😀
Yes. If you look in the description at the bottom I have seam allowances listed
What type of lining did you use for this project? Loved your video.
Thank you. I used waterproof canvas in 300D for this one. It adds a little structure but also stops water bottle condensation.
Do you have any hacks that will make this bag so that it fits a Stanley Cup with a handle?
I don't personally but there are some on Linds fb page. 😊 She said it works with the original pattern and also the version here in my video.

Great job! Thank you!
Very well done. Thank you.
Great instructions...only improvements would be a larger viewing area from camera....but really great job!!
So agree with @terrinow. Wax anxious about how to achieve top section with pattern pieces (thank you for listing those with measurements) but advanced tutorial to see how you matched pattern to main body bag. Excellent presentation, lovely voice, no "hand jive" and no music to interfere with your instructions. Do make more videos and thank you for sharing your time and talent. 😊
Thank you I took another look and my problem was I cut the side pieces at the wrong width so it was my bad. Thank you so much for your response. I really appreciate it.
Wow! I absolutely love your hack! I dread sewing rounded bottoms so this hack really simplifies a wonderful pattern. I would just make one suggestion...maybe try to widen the video so we can see more of what you are doing ;0) I loved your simple explanations, and you walked us through the entire process without any complications. Thank you for sharing! I will definitely subscribe to your channel and I look forward to seeing more of your videos!
Thank you. I love the fact we don't have watch you sew every step. You are very organized. I enjoyed watching and learning from your video!! Please make more!
Thank you ! this makes it seem less intimidating :) I have the pattern but was terrified when I watched other videos. I will make the original at some point but this seems like a good starting point.
Great tutorial! You are awsome. If is not too much to ask, can you do the DAYNA BAG top ZIPPER hack??? Looking forward and I subscribed too. Thank you
You’ve absolutely convinced me to get this pattern now! Thankyou for your brilliant tutorial! Please do more!🌻
I have the pattern and have cut out most. Watching several tutorials for instruction and confidence. Tku. Your tutorial made a very clear instructions for me. Tku tku tku.
Great Video, and thank you for the great easy-to-follow instructions and prefer your Hack compared to others.
You are a godsend, thankyou thankyou thankyou, exactly what I have been looking for!!!!!
Great tutorial Easy to understand. Thanks Also glad for no background music.
TY for showing how to make the bag without the swivel hooks. I couldnt figure out what to do with the strap as I sewed lol. I didnt really want them. Great tutorial TFS!
The best tutorial HANDS DOWN! Thank you so much!!!
Yay for boxed corners. Sewing on the oval gives me heartburn. I saw someone put in grommets instead of d rings with connectors at the top and I have been doing that ever since, so much easier.
great video! excellent instructions. Where do you get your hardware and strap material?
Love your instructions, very easy to follow. The design is beautiful, I can’t wait to sew this!
Excellent job!
one of the best tutorials i've seen and heard. no unnecesary rambling (lol) articulate and well presented. many thanks!
Great job. My only comment is that it was hard to see the details on the strap and how to attach it because it was black. Otherwise, keep up the good work!
Great tutorial!
Such a great tutorial. I've made two of these now. They Turned out perfect. Thank you so much!!💕
