Barrel Bags: Yoga Mat Carrier

This month we have two projects! This yoga mat carrier could also be a useful bag for your towel when going swimming, or storing all your knitting notions.

This stylish mat carrier has a handy zipped pocket in the top – a perfect secret place to keep your phone and spare change whilst you’re working out! I’ve used soft canvas for both the outer and lining sections, but cotton or even denim would also work well.

Finished size: 24 x 7in (61 x 17.75cm)

Note: Use ½in (1.25cm) seam allowance throughout.

Edited 05/08/20: Unfortunately, the height of the zip panels was incorrect when the project first published. We are very sorry about this. The correct lengths are now detailed in the materials list.
