project of the week: yoga mat bag

materials: the same old ikea duvet cover from the ironing board slipcover project.

tools: sewing machine, good scissors, good pattern.

references: i used amy butler's downloadable nigella yoga bag pattern and followed it semi-closely. ms. butler has many marvelous free patterns available. take a peek if you are ever in the mood for a sunday afternoon sewing project.

outcome: positive.

bonus: i especially like the pocket for carrying love notes from your sweetheart, keys, wallet, bus pass, or whatever.

now excuse me, i'm off to do some yoga. namaste.
