Sewing Quick Tip:
Since lining fabric can change the way your fashion fabric drapes, don’t choose a lining based solely on its looks. Actually drape it over your hand together with your fashion fabric to make sure you like the feel of the two layers together.

Sewing Quick Tip:
Nicked or rusted pins can snag and stain your fabric. Therefore, periodically check the condition of your pins by running your finger down their length. If you feel roughness on any pin, throw it away. Pins are cheap and can be easily replaced.

Sew your own Yoga Mat Bag with the help
of these twenty-five free yoga mat bag
patterns & tutorials collected from all over
the web.
And remember, a yoga mat bag not only
serves as a convenient way to carry your
yoga mat to and from class, but it also
offers protection for your bag.
When making a fabric choice for your bag,
consider choosing a heavier weight fabric
so that your bag will be sturdy and last a
long time.
However, if you have your heart set on a
lighter weight fabric (perhaps because
you love the print or want to use up some
of your fabric stash), consider applying a layer of fusible interfacing to your fabric pieces. Just
be sure to test the interfacing on a scrap of your fabric first to make sure you like the feel of
the two layers together.
Also consider adding a lining to your bag. A lining will not only make your bag even more durable,
but if you use a "slippery" fabric for your lining, it will make it easier to slide your mat into and
out of the bag.
And if you’d like to be able to use your bag to transport more than just your mat, consider
sewing one of the roomier designs and/or one of the designs that has an inner or outer pocket.
