| Hey, that bag looks great! I just helped myself to a mat bag by cutting off the leg of an old army trousers. So I only had to close one end since the trousers have a little cord to close the trousers at the foot end. For carrying I use the strap of an abandoned travelbag, simple thing. The whole bag turned out to be very primitive and I don't really use it since I feel that the military touch of the bag doesn't match with the yoga approach at all.  | |||

| Jean, The bag looks great! Hand/home made things sometimes go very well on ebay. Good luck! Let us know how you do! Tourist may start selling bolsters. :-)  | |||

Oh my! Thanks for the tips & compliments! Don't worry, Tourist, I get wiped out & have to rest long before I can develop any kind of headache. If you do get hold of some upholstery, let me warn you - get some heavy-duty sewing needles! I broke at least 4 needles on my sewing machine on the 6 bags I finished this week. Fortunately, I was able to order some heavier ones, on Ebay of course! Thank God for the internet, can't imagine sending my husband out with directions to pick me up some "nice needles for the sewing machine."  I've thought about trying to do some more complicated designs for carrying all the stuff that goes with me to class too, but so far the regular tote bags off Cafe Press work better than anything I could come up with. I got one with my own logo on it and it carries my Mexican blanket, a bunch of neckties (to suffice as straps for students), my water bottle, a CD or two, and an envelope for class lists and business cards and whatnot. I like it cuz the straps are long enough to sling it over my shoulder w/ the mat bag, so I can still carry my boombox in the same trip. If you haven't been to Cafe Press (www.cafepress.com), it's pretty neat. You can upload a picture or logo, then set up a little store for free with your logo printed on whatever items you want. I did one in case my students/friends/family wanted anything like that, but so far the only one to buy anything was ME! That's okay, it gives me something cool to wear to class and makes cute gifts for my pals. My friend just had a baby so I sent her a little JeansYoga onesie and a JeansYoga teddy bear. My store is www.cafepress.com/jeansyoga, but it might not be a very good example because I thought some of their items wouldn't be right for me to sell as a teacher. JeansYoga thongs might send the wrong message!  Jean (Internet POWER SHOPPER while I'm stuck at home!!!) | |||
