yoga mat bag.

a quick project for my yoga-loving friend emily. it’s made entirely of scraps my inner hoarder wouldn’t allow me to throw out: pieces left over from a curtain i once cut to fit my window, pillow case that doesn’t match my bedding anymore… etc. now em has a new bag and i’ve decluttered my workspace – a win/win!

it was fairly simple to make. i mostly winged it so i’m not going to give any specific instructions (don’t exactly know what I’m doing), but here is a quick drawing of a pattern i used and some progress shots. if you’re looking to reuse existing materials here is an interesting tutorial on how you can re-purpose your old pants ; )
