DIY: How To Make Your Own Yoga Mat Bag
I love my lululemon velcro mat strap – it also doubles as a yoga strap for stretching. However, when I’m trekking around Vancouver, it would be more practical to have an actual yoga mat bag to keep my mat free of dust, dirt and grime.
If you’re relatively crafty, there’s a fantastic eco-friendly DIY project that can be done in a short amount of time: Fitsugar’s step-by-step guide to making your own yoga mat bag with an old pair of jeans.
You’ll need:
- old jeans
- yoga mat, for measuring
- scissors
- thread
- sewing machine (you could do it all by hand, but it will take a lot longer)
- drawstring or ribbon
- cloth belt or scarf or tie, for the strap
This would also make an excellent gift for the holidays, for a yogi in your life. Not very crafty but like the jean-yoga-mat-bag look? Here, you can purchase a new Gaiam denim yoga bag.
Happy sewing!
