Right Here it goes, they say a picture is a thousand words, lets hope so as i'm rubbish at describing things
First things First i Pre-washed all the fabrics (not taking no chances in shrinkage etc)
Shown the the Pic is red Velour, three different designs of Flannel (which did fray in pre-wash) plain cream cotton, and fleece (not shown is my Minkee)
at this point i'd already made my liners (got impatient when my Bamboo Fleece arrived
)
I laid out the material and drew as many of the patterns as I could in the fabric.
Panty linerThe rest of the pictures and instructions relate to a liner style pad - so there's no waterproof layer.
I decided that I preferred to sew my inner to an additional layer to stop it moving around, for this layer I've cut up an old 50% Cotton/50% Polyester Bed sheet.
I then sewed the inner (which is only one layer of Bamboo fleece in the liner) to the layer
I then built up the rest of the layers now I'm sewing the inside first and leaving a small hole so it can be turned inside out.
the first two layers are the right way up.
the base layer is then placed on top of the first layer the wrong way up.
I then pinned the fabric together at the edges ready to sew.
Picture below showed the area I missed so i can turn it inside out.
I then turned it out:
I then need to remedy the hole I left
This is what it looks like folded into shape
almost there
I then sew a standard stitch all the way around the edge of the pad and add the poppers.
TaDa! the finished Pad!
I'm trying it out as I write this, couldn't wait!
I know i'm pregnant
and don't currently have a period but I still have the need of a liner IYKWIM!
