One last holiday gift.
Since I finally had the chance to give the gift yesterday, I finally get to post pictures of the lovely item.
This bag was for Melanie, my Matty’s speech therapist. She has been a part of weekly lives for about 3 years now. The help that she has provided to Matty and his verbal challenges is immeasurable. As well as the guidance she gives to me. I feel like I’ve learned as much as Matty, if not more!
Such a sweet person warranted something special.
This time it was a yoga mat bag. A bag! For her yoga mat! I was excited to make it and knew exactly the fabric I wanted to use. I had used this fabric before to make purses and wristlets and such and thank goodness superbuzzy, had some left! As I couldn’t find it anywhere else. It’s from the Echino line from Japan. And I just adore it.
I also made her a hairband to match. Sweet.
I have made a few yoga bags in the past and was pleased with the results. This one I like even better. The fabric is beautiful and I used a very slippery nylon outdoor fabric for the interior. The bag slides right in without any catching. I think I might start producing some more of these to keep in the shop.
materials used:
heavyweight cotton
nylon blend fabric
thread
interfacing (for strap only)
elastic (for hairband)
