Tutorial: Simple yoga tote with mat straps

This yoga tote is a tote bag and a yoga mat carrier all in one. Jen from iCandy Handmade shares a tutorial showing how to make it. The top is a roomy tote bag where you can put your water and towel (and keys, and phone…). And underneath the bag are a couple of elastic straps to carry a rolled up yoga mat. I’m thinking this could also be a great picnic bag, with the food carried in the tote and a blanket stowed in the mat straps.
