Shanti Yoga Bag Pattern

Namaste! Stitch yourself the perfect exercise ensemble

Combine durable and stylish kraft-tex with hefty denim to create a yoga bag meant to last! The handy shoulder strap and exterior zippered pocket are pretty and practical, while the water bottle holder with an adjustable strap adds even more functionality. Then give some flair to the whole ensemble with a magnolia flower accent made entirely of kraft-tex. Meanwhile, learn new skills inspired by shoe-making, including a goiser stitch around the zippered pocket and brogueing details on the water bottle holder that show off the back of the denim through the kraft-tex.

• Perfect gift for yourself or the yogi in your life
• Work with pristine and understated kraft-tex, or embellish your bag with paints and inks
• Add interest to your project as you learn new techniques for working with thicker materials
