Emergency Zippered Pouch

June 3, 2012 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 11 Comments

Here are some more Emergency Zippered Pouches made up over the weekend.

These ones were made using some Bliss fabric that I had in my stash. They take a little less than an hour to make so are the perfect project when time is short.

Sarah and I are finding them very useful to hold all manner of supplies, so I was requested to make up some extra’s so we have all bags covered!

Our tutorial for the Emergency Zippered Pouch has proven to be very popular with over 25, 000 views in the past two months. What is really lovely, it that some readers have taken the concept and made it their own to fit a blood glucose monitor and other emergency supplies. Brigette from KB Design modified the design to make a pouch for her epi-pen. You can see her lovely version below.

If you make anything using one of our tutorials or patterns, please let us know and we can pin your photo to our Pinterest page – “Made Using A Spoonful of Sugar Patterns/Tutorials” . You can find us on Pinterest here.

    These will make great gifts stuffed with bandaids, gauze, alcohol pads, ointment, and gloves.

    Das Epi-Pen Täschen ist immer noch in Gebrauch. Es ist natürlich immer bei mir, ob in der Hand-, Einkaufstasche oder im Rucksack.
