Last week, my friend asked if I could create a little pouch to put in her son’s diaper bag where she could store his medicines along with a sheet containing instructions on the necessary dosage and his doctor information for any emergency situation. She wanted to make sure it was clearly marked with a red cross to indicate “First Aid”.

What a great idea! When diaper bags became unnecessary in my house, I found myself tossing band-aids, medicines, etc. into my purse, only to be lost in the bottom of its abyss when the need arouse. This pouch had so much potential!

This pouch is 5″ x 6.5″, to accommodate my friend’s needs, but can easily be made in any size and fabric combination.

If you or your child has allergies, a little First Aid Pouch can store an Epipen or allergy medications. You can pack bandages and triple antibiotic in this little pouch and toss it into your child’s sports bag.

The possibilities are endless. To order, or for more information, email me at the link provided above.

I was bit by the DIY/craft bug a couple of years ago. It started out with an obsession with thrift stores and vintage pieces, then progressed to refurbishing vintage furniture, then upcycling (using an existing item in a whole new way, or turning one item into another), and finally to sewing items from scratch. The following project was my first attempt (October 2010) at incorporating the various crafting elements.

I got the drop cloth in the paint section and stencils and acrylic craft paint in the craft section of Walmart.

A true upcycle project, I used the stuffing from some old throw pillows.

(This chair was a $15 Goodwill find. I just reupholstered the seat.)

This is an easy peasy DIY project, but if you are interested in your own stenciled throw pillow and aren’t in the mood to DIY, you can always turn to me! I promise my sewing has gotten A LOT better since 2010! 😉
