I recently
carry around an epi-pen with me. Figured, keep it inside my purse, and it’ll be
fine. Then I read online, from this page
that a child’s epi-pen has to be placed in a padded, insulated case. Keep it
room temperature and protect it from getting “beaten up” inside your bag.
I tried to
look in amazon.com for one. But didn’t like it, plus I wasn’t sure if it was
gonna fit in my little purse. Mind you, I carry a relatively small bag which
contains mostly the baby’s stuff. Like teething tablets, teething gels,
aquaphor, cortisone, Benadryl, the epi-pen, that kind of stuff. So I didn’t
want some bulky case that wont fit in my purse and would end up looking for a
bigger purse… I don’t like bringing purses as it is.
On a side
note, you should have seen the baby bag I bring. Hahahaha. It’s a cosmetic bag
that fits his diapers, wipes, change of clothes, and whatever stuff I think I need
for the day. We even manged to bring it around with us to Disneyland which made
our trip much easier, more on that later.
Anyway, so I
decided to make a case. I’ve just dabbled in sewing recently, so that’s what I did.
My first attempt
took 3 tries even before I ended with a use-able one. Not bad, but I couldn’t
figure out how to put a flap as a cover.
My second
atempt, took one try, which turned out pretty good, but couldn’t get the flap
to close. Big mistake here. I measured right in the beginning, but when I was
putting the whole thing together, I adjusted 2 inches, and that’s why I couldn’t
close the flap anymore. Talk about big mistake right.
Note to
self: don’t readjust measurements in the middle of working on a project.
So I’m off
to the fabric store again, to get the same fabric – run-out of whale fabric,
and need more.. hahaha.
Here’s to my
3rd attempt. Wish me luck. Hahahaha.
