Spell It With Moda ‘S’ Pouch

S-BagI did a little last minute sewing yesterday, making my special little boy a snack pouch before he headed off to an afternoon activity. I used the Spell It With Moda letter ‘S’ {find the pattern here}. But when I first made it, the ‘S’ was way too big. So, I used Electric Quilt 7 to scale it down from an 8″ x 10″ block to a 6″ x 7 1/2″ block, and it was perfect!

Letter S Two SizesHere are both blocks side by side {I have yet to decide what to do with the larger one!}. I did add a 1 1/4″ border to the top and sides, and a 2″ border to the bottom.

S-Bag-Sidemade a little gusset on the side too, so it will hold his snacks nicely.

Bag-with-HeartAnd I sewed a little red heart to the inside. Lately he’s been wanting to stay with me instead of going to nursery or children’s church on Sundays, so I wanted him to feel a little extra love while we’re apart! He was pretty excited to pack this up and take it with him, so hopefully it will do the trick!

I’m so happy with the smaller size block, it is so usable! Maybe I’ll scale a few more down for a quilt with some words…in all my free time!

  1. The pouch looks great and the heart inside is just perfect. I think the letter blocks would definitely be more useable in the smaller size. I think you have about as much free time as I have πŸ˜‰

  2. OH wow, Jennie….this is so CUTE….and maybe save the bigger block for his college “snack” bag πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ In fact, I would totally want one of these for me….and I’d love to sew one. Is this a pattern you created? What a cute, super cute, vintage cute…and, of course, practical idea πŸ˜‰ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

    p.s. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the little heart detail on the inside. I’d want that for my snack pouch, too πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

  3. What a special little pouch!! Oh, I remember those heartbreaking days when a mother had to let go and it was made that much harder when the little ones cried. This is just the right thing for him to hold onto and keep close till he is home again.
    Wondering if you could make a little book bag with the other bigger initial. Or with a zipper for an overnight extra clothing/PJ bag.
