Cloth Pad Exchange - 1

Mila  and I decided to exchange cloth pads sewn by ourselves...  :)

She sent me this very nice cloth pad she sewn.   Thank you Mila...   I like it very much.

Did you see the curvy stitches in 8 shape in the centre?   Nice idea, right?

And...   she also sent me a small wet bag she sewn from her PUL scrap.   She is very creative!

I have been thinking making lots of small wetbag for only 1 cloth pad.   Make it easy when at work.   Could take a pad discretely to the wash room.  Find it  inconvenient having to fish out a pad from a big bag..

Now, I am inspired by this and will start making a few  bags from PUL scrap...

Enjoy your weekend,

Sewing Notions 17 - Tool to add Seam Allowance to Patterns

How do you add seam allowance to patterns?

I don't have any tool at the moment.. I do it manually... Not very clever...

When searching on internet, I found these ideas:
1) Tape 2 pencils together for 1/4" seam allowance! this is so clever..

You could also pay for something called Seam Tracer which hold 2 pencils together:

There is also something like these which you could use to add seam allowance.

3) Seam Allowance Guide by Hollie
