Insulin pump pouches, my new boutique project~



So as you may know, I sew... not just sew, but design and create boutique girls clothing, here's a peek at some of the things I've done for my ebay boutique group...  "about me"  It's been a lot of fun, and a lot of work and unfortunately it kept me from doing what I planned to do when I started sewing Too Sweet Boutique stuff... pump friendly clothing and cute pump pouches. Well, I'm getting back on track! I've been working on a perfect pump pattern and I think I finally have it! (after 4 years of using every pump pouch on the market and making countless versions of my own)  I plan to sell them on etsy and see how it goes. They will feature high quality designer fabrics, durable construction and fabulous fit, but they will also be stylish! (something I feel is missing in the options currently available)

The Perfectly Clear Pouch, is my personal favorite for everyday wear.
It's practical & stylish and will come in a variety of fashionable prints for boys and girls.


It has a clear insert so you never have to take your pump out of your pouch for boluses or to look at the screen, (fabulous for cgms graphs and invaluable for night time checks) It can be reversed so the clear insert faces in or out.


It fits great over or under your clothes. (unlike other designs that allow the pouch to hang off of the belt) So you can still wear your favorite clothes w/o that big lump.



Of course I also have to offer a custom boutique-style pouch! These are perfect for any little fashionista, (inspired, of course by mine), whether it's a special occasion or just everyday style, and they make great gifts! They are faux fur, with custom monogramming and a mixture of designer fabrics in the color scheme of your choice.... or a fun mis-matched, goes with everything variety of trims, (as shown).  Same great fit as The Perfectly Practical Pouch, but this is The DIVA Pouch;



So.... I am working on finishing up my clothing orders and gearing up to open my etsy store in the next couple of weeks. I have a few more fun items in the works and I am looking forward to this next phase of my work!! :0) Stay tuned!

These pump pouches look amazing! My daughter is 8 (diagnosed at 4) and totally into fashion, she would flip out if I showed her these photos. (I can hear the, "mommy, mommy! please please! already, lol)

wow, these are awesome i love your pouches! my daughter will be nine in April, diagnosed when she was 3, pumping since 5. Her dad was also diagnosed at 26 and her a year later. She is such a fashionista and i will be surprising her with these cool designs. I know she'll love rocking them at diabetes camp this summer! Take care, god bless and thanks for your wonderful creations! I wish your family love, health and happiness.

I have been looking for something like this since the day i brought my daughter home from the hospital. My situation is a little different and she does not have an insulin pump, but and infusion pump (she is fed totally through an IV) Just wondering if you would consider making one that would fit my 5 month olds pump if i gave you the measurements?
