[QUOTE="DaftThoughts, post: 1396213, member: 317436"] Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've snooped around in this thread. :P I was wondering, can anyone who sews help me out? I know the basics of sewing, but I haven't sewn enough to know how to realize this idea. Summary: none of the diabetes clutches I find are what I want. I'm going to be cleaning out my wardrobe next week to replace worn down items (like jeans with holes in the crotches, hah!) and a bunch of tops. LOTS of fabric that I can reuse and would be able to turn into a pouch or clutch. I just don't know how to go about it that well. I'm envisioning something like a pencil case or makeup bag where my glucometer, strips container, lancet device and insulin pens can lay in freely. Preferably big enough for my double Frio bag as well, for those hot summer months when the insulin needs to stay cool. Separate zipper pouches on the inside for lancets and needles, and one pouch for the disposed lancets, needles and strips. So, a big pencil case/makeup bag with 3 extra zippered pouches on the inside. Preferably 25cm long, 5cm wide and 12cm tall at the most, so it fits in my little shoulder bag. I've never sewn zippers before, but I have plenty in my sewing case. I have jeans that I'd prefer to use for the outside of the case, and some thin cotton tops for the lining. Can anyone direct me to a tutorial or a pattern that can teach me how to do this? :) [/QUOTE]
