Jumper Sleeve Hot Water Bottle Cover

You can make a lovely hot water bottle cover using the sleeve of an old jumper. 

You'll need: An old jumper, some scissors, needle and thread, a hot water bottle. 

All you need to do is cut off the sleeve at the should and then measure the sleeve against your hot water bottle and cut it so that it's a little bit longer than your hot water bottle. 

Next, turn your jumper sleeve inside out and sew up the shoulder end, not the cuff. I hand sewed it but you could easily machine it for a more professional finish. 

Then turn it the right way out and put your hot water bottle inside, the cuff will fold over or gather in around the neck of the hot water bottle. 

et voila! a lovely cosy hot water bottle cover in a few minutes!
