Making a yoga bag - drawstring closure

Today, in part 5 of 7, we're making the drawstring closure and attaching to the top of the bag.

Setting up the flat felled seam

• Pin right sides facing, with edges 3/8" apart
• Stitch with 5/8" seam allowance
• Press closed with the wide edge on top of the narrower edge
  

Making a yoga bag - the tube and flat felled seam

Today, in part 4 of 7, we're rolling the body of the yoga bag into tube and stitching it together with a flat felled seam. You don't have to use a flat felled seam. I did my first couple of bags with a French seam. You can also sew a regular seam or finish the edges with a serger. Although I really like the flat felled seam, making it on this long tube is a bit awkward (as you'll see below).

Gingham yoga bag #3

I didn't have enough orange fabric to make the drawstring closure like the first gingham yoga bag. So, this one is very similar to gingham yoga bag #2.
