The Epi Pen Pouch

Sew Safety and Empowerment: The Epi Pen Pouch

When my children were first diagnosed with life-threatening allergies, it felt overwhelming. I wanted to make sure they were safe and prepared without making them feel scared. The Epi Pen Pouch came from that need—a simple, practical solution to carry their medical essentials with confidence.

This pattern can make a difference for families dealing with allergies or medical needs. Whether you’re sewing it for your child, a loved one, or donating it to someone in your community, the Epi Pen Pouch is a meaningful way to use your creativity for something impactful.

What Makes This Pattern Special

•   Customizable Design: Create a pouch that reflects the personality of the person carrying it.
•   Versatility: The adjustable waist strap makes it easy to wear, and the size works for more than just epi pens—think first-aid kits, travel pouches, or hiking gear.
•   Practical Skills: Build confidence with techniques like zipper installation and strap assembly.
  
  
  

Fabric and Supplies

The Epi Pen Pouch works wonderfully with bold, fun fabrics from the It Takes a Village collection by Jennifer Long for Riley Blake Designs. These fabrics add joy and personality to the pouch, making it truly special.

•   Additional Supplies: Include fusible fleece, zippers, and Velcro for secure construction.

Why This Project Matters

Carrying an epi pen can feel scary for a child, but this pouch helps make it approachable. By choosing fabrics they love and adding personal details, you’re helping them feel empowered and prepared.

If your family doesn’t need this pouch, it’s also a great way to give back. Consider sewing one to donate to a children’s hospital or allergy support organization.
