To build a pattern, two sizes are needed - the length and diameter of the roll. Bag cut consists of the following parts:

  • two circles - with the diameter of the rolled-up rug plus 5 cm. The increase is given for a seam width of 1 cm and the free position of the rolled up in a bag;
  • one rectangle - with a length (equal to the length of the folded plus 7 cm) and width (equal to the circumference of the previous part);
  • blank strap handles bags 1.5 m long and 10 cm wide.

Sewing begins with a webbing. If the fabric allows, you can prepare the part with an iron, ironing the allowances inward. One end of a stitched webbing is threaded into a frame with a jumper for adjusting the length; a prefabricated 10 cm long webbing section is threaded into a frame without a jumper.

If desired, you can process a pocket for small things. It is parallel to the larger clasp. Burlap pockets are parts of the main fabric. Then the lightning is screwed in with the help of a special button. Stitching parts-circles, with the simultaneous retraction of parts of the handle straps.

Bag - case is ready. Carrying the rug in it is convenient, the rest of the time it is in safe shelter, waiting for the next use. Cases made from the same fabric sewn from the same pattern will be a great gift for sports friends.
