Bunheads Unisex-Adult Ouch Pouch

Product Information

Next, you will repeat the same process on the other end of the zipper tape. But first, you must trim the zipper to the size required – in this case, our overall zipper length is to be 8-3/4″ long from each zipper tab end. It makes sense to always use a Faraday bag when the car is on your driveway or in a garage, but also when you’re away from home, because thieves often operate in car parks. Thanks so much! Thank you for an awesome product for allergies/asthma! You make it easier for kids and parents to carry life saving meds without carrying a obvious medical bag. Press pieces away from the zipper. Be careful not to place heat directly on the zipper teeth as this may cause the teeth to warp ever so slightly, making the zip difficult to slide. In June of '09, the beautiful garden/decor store I worked for closed it's doors... so I knew I had to create something really different and unique that moms needed all year round to help supplement my income. The vision of the Ouch Pouch came to me in a dream, waking me at 3am. I knew I had to get busy.

In this instance I have chosen to use a lightweight cotton batting (simply because it was sitting as a leftover piece on my cutting table). Most commonly I use leftover pieces of my wool/poly blend batting and I think the extra loft and resilience gives a more structured feel to a pouch, and allows it to stand on its own a little better.

I have had the crafting bug for the last 25 years, first creating whimsical seasonal pillows for local craft shows (and also selling the patterns) in my spare time, after work.

first off, I bought this for my wife because of the name alone.... don't take that to mean it isn't good, its fantastic quality, but the name is great. I bought it for her to keep on her baby diaper bag, which is also kinda her purse, in the event of scrapes and burns etc....

Alternatively you can stitch the sides starting at the bulky centre around the zipper and only stitch down the side, then flip the piece so you can stitch the second side also starting from the bulky centre. Then stitch along the bottom separately. You would then do the same thing for the lining side. Using the zipper foot on your sewing machine, topstitch a straight line across the zipper end tab. I will often create two parallel lines approximately 1/8″ apart, or stitch straight over my first line of topstitching for some added strength at this point. Note: As you can see in the image below, I don’t move my needle closer to the zipper teeth, which is an option. I like to see the accent colour of the zipper tape and find not having to move my needle more helpful when switching between feet. However, all sewing machines differ in the type of zipper foot they have and the finish they provide, so don’t hesitate to experiment with this step to see what works best for you.

While this seems like it should be a fairly easy step, the transition between the bulk created on the exterior side and that of the lining can be difficult for some sewing machines to handle. You may find a walking foot to be helpful. I made a couple of these pouches last Christmas after being inspired by a similar one Susan @thefeltedpear shared on IG. I played around with the proportions until I was happy with the size and shape, and scribbled down all my notes in my pattern drafting notebook. This year, when I decided to make a couple for my nieces I went straight to my notes and got to work – everything is so much easier when the hard work has already been done for you, so I thought I would share my process here, on the blog, so you can make some pouches in time for the holidays too :). If you haven't taken a training course with Dark Angel, you should consider it. I took the direct action response training, and it was fantastic. Taught by experienced personal, with real life experience which will hold your attention through out the course! Today, I am sharing the instructions for how to make what I am lovingly referring to as an ‘ouch pouch’– but once you understand the basic method, you can easily adapt these instructions to make any size pouch you require.
