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.

There’s something so lovely about putting together There’s something so lovely about putting together a bright, happy self‑care gift… especially when it’s handmade.  I stitched a colourful set using Ruby Star Society fabrics - a Relaxation Eye Pillow and a Heavenly Heatpack - and styled them into a complete gift bundle.To make it feel extra special, I lined a small bamboo tray with soft tissue, added the two calming makes, tied them with a pink ribbon, and tucked in a few thoughtful extras: a candle, a box of speciality tea, and a tiny plant. It’s simple, cheerful, and such a beautiful way to show someone you care.Both projects are scrap‑friendly, beginner‑friendly, and quick to sew - perfect for weekend making or last‑minute gifting.If you’d like to sew your own self‑care set, comment SELFCARE and I’ll send you the link to the bundle.

Thank you so much for the wonderful reception to t Thank you so much for the wonderful reception to the Quadra Pouch launch last week — I’m thrilled you’re loving this pattern as much as I do.Today I’m sharing a brand new Tilda version, stitched in the large size and made entirely from blenders. I used four Bellflower prints from the Wallflower range for the exterior, and four Stella prints from the Songbird collection for the lining — eight fabrics in total, making it delightfully scrappy.I love how easily Tilda collections mix and match, and how each corner of the pouch showcases a different print. The clever panel construction gives the pouch a neat flat base without boxed corners, and the result is both practical and beautifully structured.If you’d like to sew your own, the Quadra Pouch pattern is available in both my Pattern Store and Etsy Shop.Comment QUADRA and I’ll send the link straight to you.Pattern Details: Quadra Pouch (3 Sizes) - available in our Pattern Store and Etsy ShopFabric: Bellflower blenders and Stella blenders from Tilda, with thanks to @tilda_australia#tildafabrics #quadrapouch #sewingproject #scrapfriendlysewing #pouchpattern
