Welcome to Week 20 of the One Yard Wonders Sew Along!
Week 20 – Project 46
Yoga Mat Bag – designed by Gene Pittman pg. 127
Cindy selected Amy Butler Soul Blossoms Home Decor Peacock Feathers Turquoise.
Materials Needed:
1 yard of coordinating 1″ webbing
1 pair of 1″ D-rings
22″ of 1/2″ elastic
Publishers Corrections:
Bottoms: 6 1/2″ diameter circle (cut 2)
Cindy’s Tips and Thoughts
- The Home Decor fabric was a great choice for a Yoga Bag. Cindy created the pocket with fabric from her stash. The pocket is handy for keys or a cell phone.
- Cindy found clipping the bag exterior & lining extensively before pinning the circle to it worked well. She drew a line 1/2 inch from the raw edge of the bag body and clipped to it. This simplified easing in the quantity of fabric.
- The pattern called for 22″ of elastic. Cindy shortened it to 13″ for the 16″ casing. The opening was still generous, next time she would consider using a drawstring.
- The directions add the elastic before sewing on the strap loop and D-ring tab. Cindy sewed the loop and D-ring on first. She didn’t think there would be room to get it under her machine if the elastic was already sewn in. This worked well.
Cindy is ready for Yoga class!
Week 20 – Project 47
Pintucked Top – designed by Robin Dodge pg. 130
Janis chose to use two fabrics. Timeless Treasures Darling Clementine Cotton Lawn Set Medallions Aqua for the body. For the piping Free Spirit Voile Solids Kiwi.
Materials Needed:
pattern sheet #4
4 yards of 1/2″ double-fold bias tape
Janis’ Tips and Thoughts
- This pattern went together easily! The instructions were simple to follow as they were written.
- Janis decided to use cotton lawn as this pattern looked like it would lay better with the softer fabric. It was the perfect choice. Easy to work with, and it flows beautifully.
- One yard was more than enough for the X-Small and Small sizes. Only 19 inches were used for the small.
- She used the method that Alicia used to cut out her bag. (One Yard Wonders week 19) Fold the fabric over lengthwise to match the width of the pattern in the size needed, cut out the front and back at the same time(this only works on the smaller sizes).
- One inch bias tape was made from the solid green voile so that it would remain as floaty as the main fabric. Use a 12 mm bias tape maker.
The Pintuck Top is so beautiful she will make the pattern again with cotton lawn or voile. Janis has 3 girls, she will probably make 2 more Pintucked tops.

Both are really lovely!
The yoga mat bag turned out particularly well – what a great idea, and the print is perfect for the purpose.
Gorgeous projects! I especially like the print and colour of the top. It’s so pretty!!!

Both projects turned out so well!!!!
Happy weekend to everyone at Pink Chalk!
That yoga bag turned out fabulous! The fabric choice is so perfect!
Another set of great projects! Especially love the colorways used.
Great jobs ladies! I really love the fabrics used for the top.
Both of these items turned out beautifully – I like the tailored pintucks with the simple top!
Very cute!
The top looks like an easy project and looks very elegant in those colours.
The projects turned out wonderfully.
I realized my DIL does yoga, so a mat holder would make a nice present.

Oh these turned out so cute! Love, love, love the top! The kiwi green looks great with your fabric choice.
Happy to see they both turned out so nicely.
I can see myself wearing the pintucked top. I like it much more now that it is finished in her fabric selection. Good work!
OH I love the fabric used for both of these. I haven’t ever made myself clothing, but it looks interesting. And I love the yoga mat bag, wish I had a yoga mat to make this for!
Your tutorials are always so thorough. Each time I read one, I am learning to think like a sewist. Thank you, as always.
Love the yoga mat bag. I recently ordered the book from Amazon and some fabric for the yoga mat bag. The top is cute too. My daughter might like this.
There are actually quite a lot of particulars like that to take into consideration. That could be a nice level to convey up. I offer the ideas above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions just like the one you deliver up the place a very powerful thing will probably be working in trustworthy good faith. I don?t know if finest practices have emerged around issues like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a good game. Both girls and boys really feel the impression of just a moment’s pleasure, for the remainder of their lives.
