Event Overview
Whether you enjoy Yoga or Pilates, your mat has to be stored somewhere to stay clean and out of the way. A yoga bag does the trick. A D-I-Y yoga bag is, of course, much more individual than a bought one. Can I sew my own yoga bag in three hours you ask? The answer is yes!
Now for those of you who like to tip your toe into the water before swimming we suggest our 4-Week Beginner Sewing Series but if you are a person who likes to jump right in and learn how to sew then we suggest our project based classes such as this one. In this class you will learn all of the basic machine sewing stitches, insertion of a zipper, and attachment of a strap. You will walk away with a simple yoga bag to hold your yoga mat.
If you have a set idea of a fun fabric to get, go ahead. If not we have a selection available for you to purchase at the studio. We also have cord and cord stoppers available in natural tone.
What to Bring
Your yoga mat for measuring, 1 yard each of two or three contrasting fabrics, cord in color of your choice.
Minimum age
All ages welcome
What's Provided
Sewing machines and all needed notions

Organization: Urban Threads Studio, NFP
The world around us is changing quickly but our need for communal gatherings in a nurturing and creative setting is not. Urban Threads Studio is a D-I-Y (do it yourself) collaborative studio that hopes to introduce you to the wonderful ancient craft of sewing and textile art with a 21st century twist. You may just want to rediscover a skill you learned as a child, experience the calm energy of a day of crafting or pick up an altogether new or more advanced skill like dyeing or felting. Our program hopes to accomplish all that and much more. All of our classes are offered at a nominal fee and all proceeds are used to bring textile arts to urban youth in Chicago in form of after school programs, summer programs, and internships.
