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 |
Three more basic pouches in coordinating fabrics |

All nestled into the one big pouch |
' 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! |

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
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous set of pouches. I love the DS fabric and the vibrant turquoise and green!
ReplyDeleteLove these. Love the fabrics - very modern. That little earphone round pouch is so handy - I'm gonna have to make me one of those.
ReplyDeleteForgot to say - you get a 'whoop, whoop' from me every time.

Well look at you! These pouches are awesome! I love your fabric choices. They just make me happy!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea !! They look wonderful !
ReplyDeleteSusie, 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 :)
ReplyDeleteSuch 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!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great selection of pouches Susie! I love that you connected the earbud pouch via the zipper of the larger pouch - brilliant!!
