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.
Start with a sound plan. Come up with a design of what you wanted to achieve. You cannot just sew a yoga bag and see for yourself how it turns out. Exhaust all available resources to achieve a perfectly functional and ingeniously designed container. This is also the best time to decide which fabrics to use for the project.
Before kicking off, you need to know the exact measurement of the materials you will need. Quantify the materials by measuring the rolled-up yoga mat. Determine its width, length and thickness. This will be your reference. Make sure to provide extra allowances in the fabric for easier cutting and sewing. Anticipate possible difficulties and challenges as well.
You will be needing at least two rectangular pieces of fabrics. One is used for the lining while the other is for the outer bag. Each piece must be an inch wider and two inches longer than your rolled mat. You will also be needing two round bottom pieces measuring an inch wider in circumference. Two strips of cloth will be used for the straps.
As you cut the materials you need to their desired measurements, it is advisable to label them one by one. This avoids confusion and saves you time as you go along the process. Eventually, this ensures better outcome. Since the right side is exposed, start sewing with the inside out.
The design of the bags matter a lot. Tote bags are intended to make it easier and more convenient to bring the mats. Whether you need to drop by some errands, go to school or report in the office before your session, you need a container to store the yoga mats in. Therefore, you have to make sure that it does not look awkward.
Make sure that your works are durable. Pay particular attention to the stitches of each part. It has to be sewn with utmost diligence to boost its strength. 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.
Be creative. You do not have to be boring with the tote bags. Think of a practical design to boost the bag's versatility. You can add extra pockets that can be used to hold valuable items like phones, keys, wallets and other essentials. Adding roomy compartments can also add functionality to your bags to help you keep organized.
