What’s Your Emergency?

March 22, 2012 By Spoonful of Sugar - 21 Comments

There are lots of “Emergency” supplies needed when you travel –  emergency money, emergency credit card, emergency chocolate, emergency make-up, and emergency first aid supplies.

I made up a small emergency zippered pouch for Sarah to take on her travels. It is perfectly sized to fit in her handbag/day pack to hold some travel essentials.

With it’s patchwork red cross, it is perfect for any emergency supply.

I love how it turned out – I think I will make up one for myself.

Details:
Fabric: Washi by Rashida Coleman-Hale (from Pink Chalk Studios)
Ribbon: Red and White Striped Grosgrain, (from Ribbons Galore).
Size: 2 3/4 x 4 1/2 inches.

    This is adorable! And such a great idea for storing first aid supplies. Now you’ll know exactly where they are. The bright colors and red cross will make them easy to find. Love it!
