(There should be a total of 14 segments in alternating colours.) Change to A, cast off.

FINISHING

For each Round Side: Sew the cast-off and cast-on edges together. Sew a running st around the centre and gather slightly to close the centre hole. Press all pieces lightly on WS using a warm iron over a damp cloth. Darn in ends. With WS facing, pin and sew the sides of Main Cylinder to the Round Ends, overlapping the cast-on and cast-off edges of the Main Cylinder to form the opening. Turn inside out so RS is facing. Attach the corresponding parts of the velcro to the cast-on and cast-off edges.

Strap

Sew a D ring to each side of the Round End near the top edge, so that the lettering motif faces outwards when you sling the holder over your shoulder. Cut the canvas webbing in half and sew a 1.25cm (½") hem at each end of both pieces to prevent fraying. Fold the end of one of the lengths around the D ring and sew to secure. Rep for the second length on the other D ring. Thread the slider onto one of the lengths and thread the other through. Adjust to preferred length. Drink to victory!
