10 DIY Projects to Make or Sew for Working Out

I love a good fresh start, and for many of us, the New Year means re-evaluating our lives in several areas. One of these areas for me is fitness related, and although I’ve always enjoyed working out and have managed to do so pretty consistently, I love to look back at what I’ve done the last year and think ahead to what I’d like to do differently in the coming year when it comes to fitness and working out. To help motivate us all, today I’m sharing 10 projects to make or sew for working out!

Keep your hair up and out of your face while looking cute with these DIY Scrunchies! They whip up in no time, and you can also make a fun bow scrunchie version with the free pattern!

Use your Cricut Explore or Maker and SportFlex Iron-on to create these adorable DIY workout leggings!

Always worried about dropping your phone while running or at the gym? This DIY phone armband is one of the easiest things you can make and works awesome for keeping your phone close and secure and keeping you hands free at the same time!

Sew your new favorite workout tank top with this FREE tank top pattern, sized M! It’s the perfect snug in the top but not too tight in the midsection shape, and you can customize it with Iron-on vinyl to make it unique!

Need a little more carry-room than an armband? Create these super fun mom-themed DIY fanny packs with Cricut Iron-on and carry all your essentials while on the move!

And since we can all use all the support we can get ;), why not sew a DIY sports bra thanks to a free pattern.

And lastly, a DIY running belt (this is just like a FlipBelt, which I love to use!) is so handy for holding things like your phone and keys on runs or bike rides!
