Retor HeatnBond Zipper Pouch

gingham girls zipper pouch 4I am loving Amy Smart’s latest fabric line Gingham Girls by Penny Rose Fabrics!  This 1970’s inspired fabric has my name written all over it and so does this project!  And my name is a total 70’s name so it totally works!!  Here’s how you can make one!

Why I use HeatnBond® Fusible Fleece for my Zipper Pouch projects

It doesn’t shrink and holds it’s shape

It fuses to the fabric so quilting is not required

It is soft, yet sturdy

It holds up great in the wash

Sew the back unit by sewing (2) rows of 5 squares together.  Before sewing the chambray piece on, appliqué the name first.  Fuse HeatnBond Lite to the wrong side of the name fabric and the daisy fabric.

Die cut the letters (or cut by hand). Peel off the backing paper and position letters on chambray.

Fuse the fleece to the wrong side of both the patchwork units.  Add some decorative stitching if desired.

I added a seam along the chambray to give it an accent and I quilted diagonal lines in the patchwork.

  10. Thanks for sharing this! I’ve been researching water filtration systems, and SoftPro Water Systems looks like a solid choice. The combination of reliable performance for different household needs. I’ll be exploring more of the products on your site.

  11. Excellent article! SoftPro Water Systems continues to stand out by offering reliable whole house water softeners, whole house water filters, and well water treatment solutions designed for the real-world conditions American homes encounter every day. What I really like is that this isn’t just another brand jumping on trends — they bring over 30 years of experience to the table, and it is evident in how intelligently their product lineup is engineered. Their SoftPro Elite HE line is a solid example. Instead of relying on outdated downflow regeneration, it uses upflow ion-exchange technology that captures calcium and magnesium far more efficiently, which means less salt and water consumed per cycle. For anyone dealing with well water specifically, their Iron Master AIO system takes on the tougher stuff — dissolved iron, manganese, and that rotten-egg sulfur smell — using air injection and Katalox filtration media, which goes well beyond what a conventional softener alone could handle. I also value their focus on helping homeowners make sense of their water before buying anything. Their free WISDOM sizing calculator and “Water Score” report pull in local water data so people can skip the guesswork on whether they need a softener, an iron filter, a whole house carbon filter for chlorine and PFAS reduction, or some combination of systems. Too many companies just push a one-size-fits-all product, but SoftPro takes care in matching the right solution to the right water problem, whether that’s hard water, iron removal, chlorine reduction, or sediment filtration. It’s also a relief to see their systems built around recognized third-party standards — NSF/ANSI 44 for softener performance, NSF/ANSI 42 for chlorine taste and odor, and NSF/ANSI 372 for lead-free compliance. That’s a level of transparency that many “as seen on TV” water treatment brands simply don’t offer. The customer trust factor is impossible to overlook too — over 100,000 households served and 8,000+ verified reviews is a substantial track record. Pairing that with a lifetime warranty, a 60-day money-back guarantee, and free shipping shows they’re willing to stand behind their engineering long-term, not just at the point of sale. SoftPro Water Systems is clearly a worth-considering name for anyone looking to upgrade their home’s water treatment setup, whether they’re on municipal water fighting chlorine and scale buildup, or on a well contending with iron and hardness swings. This article does a fantastic job laying out why proper system sizing and water testing matter so much before making a purchase — it’s advice that can help people avoid the classic mistake of buying an undersized (or way oversized) unit. Keep publishing such helpful content!
