Tutorial: Yog mat drawstring sling

by

2013-08-25 15_22wAutie from iCandy Handmade shows how to make a yoga mat sling.  It’s a long skinny drawstring bag with straps for you to carry it on your shoulder.  She made the bag big enough that the mat doesn’t have to be rolled too tightly to fit inside.  It’s a sturdy bag, made from a hom dec weight fabric with cording for the drawstring.  Cord stops will keep it drawn up tight.  Go to iCandy Handmade to see how to make one.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
