I was going to a Renaissance festival and needed some way to carry my bottle from last year. If you buy a bottle, it's only a $1 refill for life. Awesome! But how to carry the stinking bottle?! Everyone else had these awesome leather things that attached to a belt. I wanted one! So... about thirty minutes and I had one.

Measure the bottle and write down your findings. Add 1/4'' for seam allowances. You will need the following: ~Diameter of the bottle - Measure from one side to the other on the bottom. ~Circumference - Measure around the fat part of the bottle. ~Height - Measure from the bottom of the bottle to the top of the thick part and add 1 1/2''.
Cut out the bottom of the cover. These will be the length of your diameter measurements and 2'' wide.
Cut out the cover piece of your cover. This will the the circumference X height.
Fold in half and stitch up the side to make a tube.
Stitch in the bottom part in the shape of an X (or a t, depending on your perspective).
Turn right-side-out, put it on your bottle, and cut slits around the top. Lace them up and cinch them closed. Ta da! You've made a cover for your bottle! I didn't add this to the tutorial, but I took another narrow length of my fabric and stitched a loop onto the cover so I could wear it on my belt.
