#The100DayProject day 27
I have nearly completed my yoga mat bag. I just need to add a tube for a drawstring at the top. The top section is a little bit stiff because I sewed a jean jacket pocket into it. Other than that, I'm quite happy with the construction and the format, made with the legs from 2 used pairs of jeans.

Ohhh, that looks lovely!

Thanks! I think that it will be perfectly functional, and the Japanese cotton on the top is the only "new" fabric that I purchased (7 years ago). Otherwise, it's completely repurposed.

I love that! I am about to turn the last of my stash (a few fat quarters) into bias binding. But then I need new fabric! I am going to check out the fabric recycler here.

Yay! Fabric recyclers are awesome. We also have a massive sale of estate fabrics and deadstock that happens in a month, supporting the Stephen Lewis Foundation: African grandmothers raising grandchildren who were orphaned by AIDS. A lot of my current fabric was purchased there, including the mint green on the yoga bag. My stockpile has allowed me to experiment with new patterns and fabrics to gain confidence.
