How to make a quilted hot water bottle cozy

I was thrilled to come across this gorgeous Australiana fabric, inspired by the whimsical illustrations of May Gibbs. The vibrant colours and intricate details—featuring koalas, kangaroos, and native birds—are just too beautiful to cut into small pieces.

Instead, I’m making a hot water bottle cozy that shows off the fabric in all its glory. Hot water bottle covers might feel a bit old-fashioned, but they’re making a quiet comeback—and for good reason. They’re practical, comforting, and in winter, they add a bit of extra warmth right where you need it. This one will be both useful and a bright statement piece in my home during the colder months.
