Today I'm teaching a Spring break yoga class for children at a local rec center. So last week I decided I needed a bigger yoga teacher tote bag to carry all my stuff to classes. I designed the pattern and pulled some fun fabric and vinyl from my stash. This is how it turned out:
I wanted it big enough to hold all my yoga kit:- Yoga mat
- Two yoga blocks
- Foam roller
- Yoga strap
- Daily meditations prompt book/books
- Water bottle
- Yoga coaching business cards
- Keys/wallet/cell phone etc
- Sweat towel
- Lesson plans
It comfortably holds all my stuff. As soon as hubby saw it he said, "it'd make a great beach bag too!".
Note: Tutorial coming soon!
Here's a few pic of the inside:

There are actually two very handy zip pockets! |
This is the basic shape of the pattern piece but my soon to be released free tutorial will explain the pattern drafting process to create your own pattern piece:
And the vinyl base is optional, you could use all fabric if preferred:
I'm really happy with the outcome!
