- Gather materials: You’ll need a piece of fabric large enough to fit your meditation cushion, batting or foam for padding, and thread.
- Cut the fabric: Cut the fabric to the desired size of your mat, leaving some extra room around the edges to account for seam allowances.
- Cut the batting/foam: Cut a piece of batting or foam to the same size as your fabric. This will provide the cushioning for your mat.
- Layer the materials: Place the batting or foam on top of the fabric, and fold the edges of the fabric over to encase the batting/foam.
- Pin the edges: Pin the fabric’s edges together, ensuring the batting/foam is wholly enclosed.
- Sew the edges: Using a sewing machine or hand, sew the edges of the fabric together to create a seam around the mat. Be sure to leave a small opening to turn the mat right-side out.
- Turn the mat right-side out: Carefully turn the mat right-side out through the small opening.
- Close the opening: Sew the opening closed by hand, using a blind stitch.
- Add decorative touches: If desired, add decorative touches to your meditation mat, such as embroidery or applique.
