What’s needed to make a Store and Go Crossbody Bag:

• Depending on the purpose of the bag, you can use different woven fabric types. Use waterproof nylon/canvas fabric with non-stretch mesh when using the bag to store or carry a yoga/exercise mat. The mesh fabric promotes airflow and decreases drying time of your yoga /exercise mat. For other purposes any mid-to-heavy weight woven fabric can be used. Examples are: Quilting Cotton, Denim, Faux Leather, Canvas, Waterproof Canvas or Nylon, and Outdoor Fabrics.
• Synthetic or Cotton Webbing.
• One D-ring.
• One Slide Adjuster.
• Round Cord Elastic or Round Cord.
• Cord Lock.
• Optional Grommet.
• Optional Fusible Interfacing for Grommet Support.
• 6″ or 7.5” / 15.25 cm or 19cm Zipper for Closure.
• Basic sewing supplies.
• A sewing machine.
