Connectors and Cords Pouch Set



I have been making a lot of pouches lately.  I love making different shapes and styles and trying new patterns for them.

Last week, I  actually made myself a set of pouches.  I had acquired a tangled pile , which included my I Phone usb cord,  ear buds,  camera usb cord , flash drives,  and a spare I Phone  power cord. It was time to get that  all organized .

Fabrics Selected:  various  Denyse Schmidt  DSQuilts   
My favorite is the gray and cream dots!  But I can't walk away from a turquoise zipper!!

Large Pouch:     I decided on the large size of the Open Wide Zippered Pouch,  by Anna of Noodlehead.  I used this tutorial for sizing the large pouch.

Ear buds:     I used the tutorial by   Erin, of Dog Under My Desk  for my Circle Zip  Earbud  Pouch.  These are so dog-gone cute!   I made a loop in the lining of my big zippered pouch, to attach the earbud pouch to.
    
Zip drives:   A perfect way to use my  "uh -oh,  this pouch is too small for my I Phone with its protective case" , that I made last week.   It was good  practice for putting a snap onto the flap.
I added a circle zip pouch for my earbuds.    Zip drives go in the snapped pouch

Pouches for cords:   Lastly, I  made 3 more smaller  pouches, with zippers , in my coordinated fabrics.  I like to mix and match.

' Do these dots  make me look fat?.....'


I keep my pouch set right beside my laptop now.  It is easy to find the right cord, and to grab the whole pouch for when I travel!   I can't help but smile when I see these bright colors and some dots!!
I'm off to my sewing room!

  1. That white and grey is adorable! You could even put a bright zip on the neutral fabric. This is a brilliant idea, I'm going to make little pouches for all of my cords too I think (one day), you've inspired me! x

  6. Susie, these are just great! I love the fabric choices and the pop of a turquoise zipper. Attaching that adorable ear bud case was a brilliant idea. Can't wait to see the other pouches you come up with :)

  7. Such a great idea - loose cords and other bits and pieces look so messy and are tricky to keep track of. I love your choice of fabrics!
