Boho Yoga Mat Bag By Devon Iott Instead of tossing your mat unceremoniously into the back of your car on the way to your next exercise class, put it in a pretty bag! This bag features a contrast base, exterior pocket, drawstring closure and adjustable strap. Photo sample features a bottom weight and vinyl, but any two heavier fabrics would work – canvas, linen, whatever home décor weight you happen to have on hand. The PFAFF® passport 2.0’s patented IDT™ system makes sewing over all kinds of fabrics easy and stress free. This bag is designed to fit a standard size yoga mat that is approximately 24”x68”.

Cut: From Main Fabric: 1 piece 20⅜”Wx20”L (upper bag) From Fabric B: 1 piece 20⅜”Wx9¾”L (lower bag – notch center of bottom edge) 1 piece 7”W circle (base – template provided) 1 piece 6½”Wx7½”L (pocket) From webbing: 1 piece 48”L (strap) 1 piece 10”L (top loop) 1 piece 8”L (bottom loop) 1 piece 3”L (drawstring stop) Sew All seam allowances are ⅜” unless otherwise noted. If using vinyl or leather, do not use pins. Use quilt binding clips or paperclips instead. 1. Thread machine with sewing thread and bobbin. Snap-on the 0A foot and engage

the IDT™ system. Select stitch 06 (three-step zigzag) .

2. Stitch along sides and bottom of upper bag at ⅛” seam allowance to finish raw edges.

3. Select stitch 01 (straight stitch) . Align bottom edge of upper bag with top edge of lower bag, right sides together. Stitch together and press seam allowance towards upper bag (if using vinyl, use low heat and a press cloth). Increase stitch length to 3.0. From right side, topstitch ⅛” to the upper side of the seam.

4. Fold top edge of pocket ½” towards the wrong side twice and press. (If using leather or vinyl, fold only once 1”). Stitch along lower folded edge to secure [Photo 1].

5. Fold remaining three edges ½” to wrong side and press. Topstitch at ⅛” seam allowance around three edges.

6. Fold both the bag and the pocket in half vertically to find the centers; mark. Place the pocket on top of bag, centers aligned and bottom edge 5” above contrast seam. Pin in place (or use painter’s tape to secure) [Photo 2]. Topstitch around three sides of pocket, following previous stitching line, backstitching at beginning and end. Stitch a triangle in each upper corner as shown for added strength [Photo 3].

7. Optional: leave a ½” gap in your stitching in the bottom corner of your pocket to make an opening for an earphones cord.

8. Fold top edge of upper bag ½” towards the wrong side and press. Fold another 1” and press. Unfold. Mark a placement mark for two buttonholes, both ¼” below lowest fold ½” to either side of center [Photo 4].

9. Adjust the Buttonhole Foot so that the space between the side prongs measures

¾” [Photo 5]. Snap-on Buttonhole Foot and select stitch 15 (buttonhole) . Place interfacing or stabilizer behind buttonhole marks. Place the majority of the bag behind the machine so that you are starting at the top of the buttonhole (the machine will stitch backwards first). Stitch both buttonholes. Carefully use a seam ripper to open buttonholes, starting at each end and cutting in to center. Tip: do at least one practice buttonhole first on a scrap of your main fabric.

10. Snap on 0A Foot and select stitch 01 (straight stitch) . Thread lower loop webbing (8” long) through one D-ring and align ends. Stitch a square and X just below D-ring. Cut ends at a 45° angle. Align raw edge of strap with right side / raw edge of bottom bag, 4” below contrast seam and with strap angled towards top of bag [Photo 6]. Stitch in place with ¼” seam allowance.

11. Fold bag in half lengthwise, right sides together, and align side edges. Make sure all the pressed creases are unfolded at the top. Stitch together and finger press open.

12. Pin/clip base to bottom opening of lower bag, right sides together. Start by aligning and pinning notches of circle to notch and side seam of bag, then ease the rest of the edges together [Photo 7]. Stitch together all the way around, going slowly and ensuring that the edges stay aligned. It will be easier to sew with the base side down. Clip notches in the base seam allowance only to release extra fabric.

13. Refold top edge along pressed creases and pin. Stitch along lower fold all the way around.

14. Thread one end of strap (48” long) through both remaining D-rings. Fold end over 1½” and tuck raw edge under. Stitch a square and an X to secure [Photo 8]. Thread the raw end of strap through D-ring on lower loop [Photo 9].

15. To create adjustable portion, thread raw end of strap through both main strap D-rings [Photo 10], then back through only one D-ring [Photo 11]. Adjust until strap is about 36” long.

16. Fold upper loop in half with a twist. Stitch ¼” from raw edge to secure. Fold raw end of main strap around bottom end of upper loop to enclose raw edges. Pin to bag centered on side seam and with bottom edge 3” below top of bag. Make sure that strap isn’t twisted. Remove accessories box on machine. Stitch a square and an X to secure [Photo 12].

17. Fold drawstring stop in half and stitch ends together with ¼” seam allowance. Trim close to stitching and turn right side out. Squeeze flat with seam in the middle. Stitch two lines ¼” apart and centered.

18. Thread cord through bag casing with a safety pin. Thread one end of cord through each slot in drawstring stop. Place a bead on both ends (optional). Tie a knot at desired length and trim excess. Unravel cord below knot to create tassel.

19. Toss your mat in your new bag and head to class! !
