Why do medical syringe pump bags have to be so … ugly?

Well, they are ugly. When I worked at a hospice, working with especially with female patients, young and old, I used to think it all the time. Some people have to have a continuous infusion of either painkiller or anti-sickness medication or somesuch in order to stay comfortable. Whilst it’s one thing when people are in bed and sleeping, many many people walk around with this, live with it as a permanent fixture in their lives. And yet, the bags they are given for them are practical but ugly dark blue canvas small bags with straps and stuff, wires sticking out, and go round their necks (which can be painful), the overall effect screaming “I am extremely medical and weird, please look at me with that uncomfortable mixture of sympathy and fear”.

So when I got asked to make this for a lady who needs a chemotherapy syringe pump, and wanted something which looked “normal”, I jumped at the chance: 

She chose Michael Miller’s “Flock” fabric in Navy, Size about 10″ x 8.5″ x 3″, to fit the pump and a purse, lipstick etc........ You can find the full post at:
