DIY Cloth Pad - Part 8 (Imported Flannel)

I meant to give cloth pads to a friend to try out..  have been dragging my feet and finally I completed 2 panty liners for her this morning.

There are 3 layers of flannel inside with additional 2 layers of flannel in the centre with a layer of hidden PUL (single layer PUL, not sandwiched).  I think it will be good for light flow too...

The one on the top is made from Imported Flannel I just bought from (R22 per meter):



The flannel is thicker than the ones I bought from Nagoya.   Harga kan tak sama.. :)


2 other imported flannel from the same place.

Repairing my torn pants...

Hi all,

No craft work this week..  Only repairing my torn pants.

A pair of pants I have for probably more than 5 year?  Can't remember exactly..

Went through my stash and found a piece of linen cotton with the closest colour to the pants.

Cut two pieces of same size, folded  the seam inside and ironed, then ironed them on top and below the torn part using iron on fabric double sided tape.   I then machine sewed the 4 sides using zigzag stitch. Happy with the outcome and hopefully it will last a couple more years...

it is upside down.. :)  i took the picture myself while i was wearing it.. that is why.. hehe.. :)

Found this useful link giving tips on how to patch a pair of pants:

Bye now and have a wonderful week ahead.

Warmest regards,
Anic
