RE USE: Rice Bag for Yoga Mat
Things you need:

1 empty 25lb burlap or woven plastic rice bag or the like
1 74" piece of grosgrain ribbon
sewing machine
scissors
ruler/straight edge
clear duct tape
Make certain that the length
of the bag is approximately
the same length as your
mat.
Choose a side to cut
along the seam.  Also cut
along the bottom stitch or
fold whichever applies to
you.
Put right sides together & pin in
place leaving room to stitch.

Skip this if you are using burlap.

Remove pins and lay flat so the
wrong side is facing you. There
should be two flaps now from where
you stitched.  "Butterfly" them out
and tape the frayed edges down.
Turn the smaller piece you cut
horizontal and use the bigger piece
as your guide below to know how
much you need to cut off the
smaller piece.
