DIY Cloth Pad - Part 3 (Tutorials)

One more cloth pad for my sister inlaw..  another type of stitch.  Having fun trying out the stitches. :)  Can't afford to do this for all pads though and not sure if it would be comfortable to wear...

    Hi Mila, happy to see you again.. and thank you for linking me in your blog... :) I am especially happy to see that you have sewn one! Keep up the semangat for sewing cloth pad and spreading the news.. Good for our health and environment.. :)

    It also feels really good not having to depend on disposable pads.. :)

    hi Anic,

    i have about 20 pieces of CP now, but ahh..i think i need more :D

    i handmade them all, so i guess being creative about the source is the key :) i didn't have the fancy snap buttons or PUL. so far, i survived with my stash..lol :)

    did yours water-proofed? oh and thank you so much for the link on cari forum. appreciate it :)))

    I sewn these cloth pads to encourage friends & relatives who are doubtfull of cloth pads, so I water proofed them, don't want them to have bad experience with leaking.

    To save PUL material, I have made just a layer of PUL & flannel without wing for friend. It is then used in between of any non water proofed pad & undie, then a user just need to have a couple of these boosters. There is also a simple pocket design that users could just create inserts from material at home. Will post these pictures.

    hi zilozz79, about replacement for bamboo fleece, you could use flannel or towel. for replacement for PUL, i have heard others who use velvet (which I think you can find from shop like kamdar). But there are online sellers for bamboo fleece & PUL and it is not difficult to buy them.

    Check out some of the online sellers here: http://anic-lohas.blogspot.sg/2010/07/diy-cloth-pad-6-where-do-you-get.html
