I've always had the idea to sew up a burlap yoga mat tote bag, but I always talked myself out of it for some reason - difficulty, uncertainty, effort. Being in between projects last week, the idea popped into my head again, and I wanted to give it a shot.
I drew up some very rudimentary drawings, figuring that if it worked out, I'd be able to reference the dimensions to make a second burlap yoga mat bag. And I'm happy I did, because I am thrilled with how it turned out and am looking forward to making a second.
I choose to line the interior of the bag with a silky, off white fabric which adds to durability but also makes it easier to slide the sticky yoga mat bag in and out. The pop of color, the industrial black text, and the natural burlap fabric are a great compliment to yoga, which focuses on finding balance, calmness, and inner peace.
This was a fun bag to work on, and I am definitely making more! You can shop our Shade Grown burlap yoga mat bag here or find other burlap tote bags in our Etsy shop now.
If you are local and attend the weekly community yoga sessions, please leave me a comment! I'd love to meet one of my fellow yoga-loving readers in the area.
Enjoy!
Erica
