Here is a an easy to sew pocket type cloth pad, no curves and corners.. :) A layer of cotton on the bottom and a layer of
PUL on top with inserts that I can make from old towels & t-shirts. I bought the pocket but sewed the pink insert myself.
But PUL is hard to find, so I think best is to separate the PUL from the pocket.. So, then there is this PUL piece that I made which could be used with any non water proof cloth pads.. Not a new idea. Many great cloth pad makers are making these. They call it the PUL Booster.
It is one layer of flannel wtih 1 layer PUL serged.
I sewed this batik pocket from a sarung remnant and it is without PUL. No snap but normal button. My first button hole with my Brother machine. So, was a bit kalam kabut.
If water proofing is required, just add the PUL booster in between the pad and undie..
I was thinking that this way, then I just need to give 1 or 2 PUL booster to my friends. Save on PUL material.

Hi Lynn,
My pleasure to share.. :)
Could you please try again the follower button?
Hopefully it works..
Hi Anic.. briliant ideas on saving pieces of PUL tuh. Some more its easy to dry when we wash it.
Hi Mila... ya-ah... easy to dry.. :) good point! thanks! :)
Anic, mana boleh dapat PUL locally? Am very intrigued... Boleh la buat diaper arwen lagi, tambah stash dia.
Hi Rozi,
Here are information I collected so far, will write an article about buying material for pads:
- http://lampinkain.com/shop/diy-notions-supplies-c-14 18“x 20” RM18
- http://madewithpassion.dsaiko.com/?p=962 - 1 meter RM68, But this is Sandwiched PUL (2 layer sandwiched), I think Mila bought this, maybe she can tell us if this is ok for Cloth Pads.
Thanks Anic... I’m just curious. An idea, you can recycle the baby plastic tie up to substitute the PUL. I have some from Arwen’s earlier days. Haven’t tried the idea yet but I think it’s best if it’s sandwiched because it’s not as durable as PUL. I bought my PUL from wazoodle.com when they had their yard sale after christmas
Hi Rozi,
Thanks for the idea..
Ummi said yes the tie up could be used but difficult to sew. See her comment at:

I bought some from wazoodle.com about a month plus ago and till now haven't received. For you, how long does it take to arrive?
