Wow, its been a really long time since I have posted. Just wanted to let people know about a danger that can be if someone hasn't realized. Last week, one of my babies died. Because of a no sew pouch. I have always had no sew pouches for my babies. But last week i came to find one of em dead. She managed to shove her head in a gap between the knots and it strangled her. I just wanted to let people know that use no sew pouches.

My deepest condolences. I'm so sorry this has happened. This is a good reminder to check everything that goes in our cages. And if you make no-sew items (pouches, vines), to make sure a tight knot is used, just as a tight stitch is needed when sewing.

God speed, little one.

I am so sorry . I have worried about this type of accident happening for a long time . If using the no sew type pouches, as Katty said, make sure the knots are SUPER tight as to not allow arms, lets, etc. to get *caught*. I am really sorry.

Dave,

Thank you for posting about the dangers of no sew pouches.

Condolences on the loss of your little one. May your memories of her comfort you in the days to come.

Glide Free Little One,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Thanks for letting us know about this danger. I have a lot of no sew accessories in the cage, and I always check the knots after washing these items. I made a no sew pouch but took it out because one of my boys untie the knots.

I always wondered about this. It is also how I feel about crochet items. I have real trust issue when it comes to safety. Thank you for sharing even though I know it is painful. I am sorry for your loss.

I too have wondered about this happeing. I use alot of new sew and luckily have never had a problem. I'm very sorry for your loss!

I'm so sorry that happened to you! I am not using these pouches at the moment, but I am going to check all of my pouches and toys now. I usually do, but it doesn't hurt to check more often.

So sorry about your loss.

So sorry to hear about your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss..

I am so sorry.

So sorry for your loss.

I was so sad to read this.

I have noticed that even with no sew blankets, the space between the knots begins to stretch over time, with washing. Your knots can stay tight as can be, but the fleece between the knots starts to stretch out. Please keep your eye out for that when you're checking over no sew items.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of the family.

I am so sorry that you had to go through this. I have had them on my website for years but have only sold one. I have worried about this type of thing too as I have seen more people use them. Our thoughts and sadness join you.

actually had one of these in the pouch with the boys last night and I saw one poking his head through the bottom corner and it made me think of this post. I instantly removed it. I would have never even thought anything of it otherwise.

I agree with Wendi about even the blankets. The fleece stretches over time with wash and use making the gaps in between even larger. I make the blankets for my skin kids and they can only make it through maybe a dozen washes before they need to be replaced.

:[ this has scared me, i recently made my first no sew pouch and the fleece was a bit stretchy. im going to take my pouch out now, im so sorry this happened :[
thank you for warning us all.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, but I thank you for posting this. It serves as a reminder to check pouches daily --something I, as a newb owner, did not realize was so important. I plan to check their pouches as often as I can in the future.

I have not made any of the no-sew accessories yet, however I have been planning to -- in fact, in a random act of kindness from a stranger, I was just recently gifted a great deal of fleece for the purpose of making my gliders pouches. I am unsure if I will do so, or use the fleece for something else after reading this post.. but if I do make the pouches, I will be sure to check them constantly.
