Yoga Mat Bag Sewing Pattern and Giveaway!


I am so excited to announce that the first Needle and Spatula sewing pattern is available for purchase!  To celebrate I'm having a giveaway - more info at the end of this post.


The pattern is for a zippered yoga mat bag with a handy pocket where you can stash your keys, id, phone, etc.


The bag is designed to fit a standard sized yoga mat and the zipper makes it super easy to take the bag out and put it back in.


With a webbing strap, the bag is comfortable to carry over your shoulder or across your body.

The pattern is sold as a printable PDF file, and includes computer-drawn printable pattern pieces and detailed step-by-step instructions/photo tutorial.  The pattern is available for purchase from my Etsy shop [update: and in my Meylah shop with automatic download].  I'm also selling finished bags in my shop if you want to buy one already made up!

I have been working on this for a while and am really so excited to have it up for sale so to celebrate I'm offering a GIVEAWAY!

I'm giving away a copy of the pattern and either:
  • The materials required to make the bag - in any of the three main fabrics pictured above (pocket fabric may vary) - including the zippers, webbing, and all the fabrics needed; OR
  • A $25 credit to my Etsy shop.
The winner of the giveaway can choose which of these options they prefer.  Feel free to enter even if you don't sew if you are interested in the shop credit!

PLUS, to keep the odds good, for every 100 entries (if there are that many), I will give away another free PDF pattern.

Each person can have up to two entries:
  • One for commenting on this post; and
  • Another for tweeting about this giveaway: RT one of my tweets or write your own with a cc to @NeedleNSpatula and a link back to this post - Example - Check out this giveaway from @NeedleNSpatula for a sewing pattern and materials or shop credit! http://t.co/Qnzsw1Z OR posting on facebook about this giveaway (with an @Needle and Spatula - you will have to like my page first - and a link back to this post) - come back and comment and tell me that you tweeted/posted. [Updated - I found out this is against FB policy but will honor entries that already did this - sorry!]
This giveaway will be open until next Wednesday, February 23rd, and is open to international folks (although I will ask you to pay any additional shipping/customs charges for sending the materials if you win them).

If you don't have an email listed on your blogger profile, please be sure to include one in your comment -- feel free to substitute (at) for @ symbol etc if you like.

Thanks and good luck!

  10. Hey Kate--this yoga bag is such a great item. I am eyeing it as a birthday present for my best friend! The pocket is a brilliant idea...

    Btw, I love how the baby blankets turned out. Way fancier than I had imagined! I can't wait to see the bunnies too! :)
