We continue to ship to Europe although we advise that certain countries are taking longer to process items through customs than others. 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. We’re big fans here at Have a Mooch, ours comes everywhere with us and gets a regular outing as our youngest tries to keep up with his big brother. They make a great gift for a new mum, or for your friends and family once their little one starts getting mobile. NOTE: This method is suited to plastic zipper types which can easily be trimmed and stitched through . Metal zippers can not be so easily manipulated, and therefore it is best to determine the pouch size based on the size of the metal zipper.

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. The Ouch Pouches are the brain child of Sammy at Happy Hearts First Aid. She’s a Mummy, Nurse and First Aid trainer on a mission to make first aid cool! Each pouch is handmade with oil cloth and features a fab contrast zip and matching tassel as well as the goodies inside. 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.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.... Place the lining piece wrong side up on top of the piece just sewn. Pin, glue or use clips to secure the lining in place. Fantastic work! It looks so good it could be store bought, although you see the love sewn in! Very pleased with the product! Thank you!

To achieve this I use my cutting board as a dimension guide, and place the sewn tab end at 0″ and the second tab at the required 8-3/4″ mark. Then, mark the zipper at the point it needs to be trimmed so it will sit within the zipper tab sandwich, with a tiny bit of wiggle room. (Sorry, I didn’t photograph this step!)

I like to press the seam allowance under to give me a nice easy press line to use as a guide when hand stitching. You can use either a ladder stitch or slip stitch if you prefer.

You may find a walking foot to be helpful. 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.

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. 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.

Place exterior pieces and lining pieces right sides together. The zipper tabs are bent towards the lining, and the seam allowance from the zipper tape is directed toward the exterior pieces. Place the front pouch exterior piece right side up. Centre the zipper, teeth side down with zipper pull to the left, aligning the top edges. Baste zipper in place. 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. 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. As a quilter, there are endless pieces of scrap fabric on my cutting table at any one time. These little pieces are often perfect for making a pouch or two!
