I have been wanting to make this for over a month. While I was cutting fabric for totes last night, I got re-acquainted with a fabric which I thought would be perfect as yoga mat bag.
FUN FACT: I made this the night I skipped yoga class. HEE.

Okay, I didn’t have to post the picture above. I just wanted to brush up on my photoshop skills.
1. Measure the circumference and length of your rolled-up yoga mat.

Hi! Welcome to my blog. My name is Meream but I answer to Myam, Yam, and all-around cutie. Aherm, kidding.
Please leave a comment or two. I love hearing from you. You can also email me if you have questions or you just feel like chatting. My addy is:

And this little girl with the thimble cap and needle scepter is Emma. I have been tasked with putting her image on everything that I craft. I have no choice as I am scared of needle pricks (despite the tattoo).

Fantastic!
I really need it! Hope to make it very soon! tnx so mutch! :)
That looks awesome! :D I’ve made a yoga mat bag once, but not for a yoga mat. ^^; It was for my A2 size drawings — there are these plastic black carrying tubes you can buy, but I figured I could make my own. (And one that could fold into itself when not in use! ^_^ )
I also LOL-ed at the “your bottom” part. x)

A space-saver tracing tube! Thats clever. :) I will mention that to my roommates. Three of them are architects. One is studying to be an architect. :D
You’re welcome. Send me a pic of your finished bag. :D
I find the idea of sewing terrifying–something akin to doing magic–(& yes, I still have that pristine sewing machine present) but I do need a yoga mat and… I might actually try this, step by step by step…
Thank you!

Hey, thanks for the tutorial! I saw it a while ago, but finally made the bag today :)
Here’s the post about it, if you want to see it :)

Thank you so much. I made this bag and posted in my blog.
What a great tutorial! Now I just need to find the right piece of fabric to make a yoga mat bag. Hopefully I can find something that’s getting tossed to give it a new life. ;)
aaah hard XD
hehe can you do this without the sewing machine?
Thanks for the great instructions! I just finished by bag yesterday. I added a piece of mesh sewn to the top (like those stupid mesh tshirts guys wore in the 80s…ick bad flashback…) to let it air out and it makes it easy to weave ribbon or thin rope thru and cinch. I recycled a spare badge strap (woven straps people attach their work badges to) for the tie and tighten it with a cinch-pinch button thing (no idea what they are called). I wish I had read all your instructions for all the good stuff you make–I might have used some light interfacing in the yoga bag too to keep it looking nice. Thanks again for sharing! :^)
Thanks, for the tote instuctions. I just made it this week, and got a chance to use my quilting scraps!
Nice instructions – what a great alternative to a mass-produced mat bag. And this is coming from someone who sells them…
You make tutorials pretty well! I’m giddy about finding you through multiply cos all this time I was wondering why the indie craft scene doesn’t exist in the Philippines :-)

Thanks for this awesome tutorial. Mine turned out great! :)
Thanks for your tutorial! I used your guide to make 2 bags for my sisters-in-law for Christmas. I added a pocket to the front too! They ended up looking great and they loved them!! Thank you!!
so very cute! The circles and colors are great!
Thanks! :)
Great tutorial! I’m just starting to get into sewing with a sewing machine (it used to intimidate me) but this project was fun and simple and it turned out great! Thanks!!!
