It can be a fun experience to create your own yoga tote bag. You are free to choose the type and the color of the fabric to use. Since this does not require extensive sewing skills, this is perfect for starters. A single bag can be completed in less than an hour depending on the design. For the best results, a mid-weight woven fabric is normally used. This makes for a durable bag despite strenuous condition yet light for hand-carry.

Like any other projects, a sound plan must be in place. This outlines the results that you want to end up and the process on how to achieve it. There are exhaustive resources to help you come up with an ingenious and functional design. This can also help you which types of fabric you are going to use.

Start by getting the measurements of the materials you will need. Measure the mats when rolled up to find out how big the bag you need. Gather the thickness, length and width of the mat. Make sure to add some allowances with the measurements to make it easier to sew the bags. Anticipate possible issues that may arise in the process.

In this task, you need to use two pieces of rectangular-shaped fabrics. One will be the outer layer and the other will be used for the linings. The fabric must measure a couple of inches longer and one inch wider than your rolled mat. For the straps, you will need two strips of cloth. You will also need two pieces of round bottom fabrics with a circumference that measures an inch wider than that of the mat's.

As you go along in cutting the materials, you have to label each one. This can save you time and avoid confusion. It becomes much easier to get the pieces together when you know exactly where each one should be. This can lead to a more impressive result. As a rule of thumb, sew the insides out first. Flip the fabrics over to show the right side when done.

Remember that the design matters. The tote bags are supposed to make it more convenient and easy to bring the mats. That is, even when you need to report at work, attend school or run some errands prior to your sessions. Hence, you must see to it that your tote bag does not seem awkward at all.

The threads, the cloth and the stitches you used can also matter. Knowing the susceptibility of the straps to damages with excessive use, you have to be extra careful with it. You may add a flannel as a padding for added strength of the shoulder straps.

Let out your creativity. You can play around with your tote bags. It does not have to be plain and boring. Come up with a practical and versatile design. You can make use of extra pockets for your wallets, keys, and phones among other essentials. You can also integrate roomy compartments to keep your things organized.
