Yoga classes have become commonplace for city dwellers. It doesn’t matter where the classes take place - in the gym or in the park, a personal yoga mat will be a necessary part of the equipment. To keep it always clean and safe, you need a bag-cover. Anyone who knows how to sew at least a little will find it pleasant and easy to sew a cover on their own.
Necessary tools and materials for sewing a yoga mat bag
Any product can be sewn easily and quickly if everything is prepared in advance. High-quality materials guarantee long-term use of the accessory:
- A durable fabric is suitable, preferably with water-repellent impregnation. For sewing, half a meter of fabric 1.5 m wide will be enough;
- A frame with a jumper for adjusting the length allows you to change the size of the belt for ease of wearing. It can be metal or plastic;
- A zipper closure will protect the contents of the bag in bad weather;
- zipper for pocket.
Most modern needlewomen have a sewing machine. When sewing in a zipper, a special foot is useful; it allows you to perform the operation quickly and accurately.Threads for sewing should be synthetic or mixed; they will ensure the strength of the seams and will not fade in the sun.

To create a pattern, two dimensions are required - the length and diameter of the roll. The cut of the bag consists of the following parts:
- two circles - with the diameter of the rolled rug plus 5 cm. An increase is given for the seam width of 1 cm and the free position of the rolled rug in the bag;
- one rectangle - with a length (equal to the length of the rolled one plus 7 cm) and width (equal to the circumference of the previous part);
- blank for a bag handle strap 1.5 m long and 10 cm wide.
Sewing begins with stitching the strap. If the fabric allows, you can prepare the piece using an iron by pressing the seam allowances inward. One end of the stitched strap is threaded into a frame with a jumper to adjust the length; a prepared piece of strap 10 cm long is threaded into the frame without a jumper.
If desired, you can process the pocket for small items. It is located parallel to the larger clasp. The burlap pocket is made of parts made from the main fabric. Then the zipper is sewn in using a special foot. The circle parts are sharpened, while parts of the handle-strap are sharpened at the same time.
Bag - case is ready. It is convenient to carry the rug in it, the rest of the time it is in a safe shelter, waiting for the next use. Covers sewn according to the same pattern from a different fabric will be an excellent gift for sports friends.
