Out of all of the reusable pad videos/creators I've watched, your videos have been the easiest to follow and the most informative. I am finally going to attempt this. I appreciate you! Thank you :)
I've watched this so many times and I've finally made my first one - it looks a lot worse than yours but it was my first time using a sewing machine! Thank you so much for sharing this, I will be using your videos again and again x
Great that you tried it though! My first pad looked terrible, eventhough i had lots of sewing experience. But 5-10pads later i had the hang of it and they look really tidy and symmetrical. Just keep going! :) I found it so rewarding to make my own and theyll last ne years. Also: The good thing About Cloth pass is, that its not visible to many people, so as long as its functional you can still get lots of good use out of them...even of they arent perfect.
Well done. I've watched several videos on making cloth pads and yours the best I've seen. Thank you so much. I now have the confidence to, successfully, make a pad.
I'm just trying to psych myself up to making my own cloth pads and came across your video. I'm so glad I did! Not only do you explain every step well, but you're so tidy!! I can't think if there's crap all over my sewing area. I wanted to hug you when you said your pad was giving birth cause I make masks and that's how I think of it! I even flip the same exact way and snip as I go. I realize this all may sound ridiculous, but after watching a million sewing videos, it's so nice to see I'm not crazy. Lol. Thanks so much! I'm definitely going to try your method.
This is a really great video .made 22 pads amd 4 pantyliners in the past 2 weeks jusy start my cloth journey im a Still waiting for my orders to come in i enjoyed making them so im hooked on these videos
I’m confused- shouldn’t the waterproof fabric be against the decorative fabric before the absorbent material goes on? I took apart one I bought off eBay and that seems to be how that one is made .
@@Truth1561 No because then the waterproof material will collect pools of blood rather than the blood being absorbed into the absorbant material first. Then you will have leaks because the blood isn’t being absorbed by anything.
First time watching your video. I really like the way you show how to make the cloth pads and I hope I can make them for my daughter. In her case it would be wonderful because she has Cerebral Palsy. Thank you for your time to show us your work and teaching us ❣
I can’t wait to get started sewing these! They are so much better for the environment and less expensive in the long run! Thank you for showing, step by step, how to make these! What’s the best way to clean the used pads? Do you put them in water to soak, then wash the whole group in the washer once your cycle ends?
Good tutorial. I'm going to do some little drying cloths for use after using the bidet first, but this looks like a great first project sewing machine project to get a few techniques down after that 👍 And store bought pads are expensive over the course or a year and often itchy. Can't wait to try this.
I love how simple you make your items. Can you make a video of a water resilient bag to keep the pads in while one is on the go? Maybe using the water resilient fabric you use for the pads.
Great tutorial! I’m looking to make a cloth pad and liner stash for myself and for a friend, who already uses cloth. Watching a bunch of different videos because it’s fun to see how each person makes the process their own. Thank you for the fabric links! I’m happy to be able to get the bamboo fleece from a Canadian source (I’m from Manitoba).
Corky Lorenz your spoonflower haul video is what inspired me to create my own fabrics for pads. So far I’ve drawn some mermaids and the pads turned out real well. I use my iPad Pro with the app procreate.
You are very gentle, just what we need for the project. I hope everyone sees what I mean. Thanks for sharing but I am just wondering if the fabric that comes into contact with the skin doesn't stain?
If it’s not washed in cold and soaked for a few hours then yes it might stain. But what matters is that it’s clean. Stains are just stains. No one will see it but the user. Hope that answered your question 😊
Looking to have my IUD removed this coming year, I’ve got a diva cup and am wondering if It would be ok to make my own pads without the water resistant fabric on the backside? Like a pantie liner can I use just flannel and cotton (trying to use what I’ve got on hand basically.) 😅 Thanks in advance hopefully you are still active because this is still the best how to I’ve seen on how to make your own pads without
Dubai Mummy Thank you! I like cotton because it’s breathable and I don’t have a wet feeling. It absorbs well and I’d say depending on your flow, it will last you hours. Really just depends on how heavy you are.
Hi! Love your videos, they’re perfect for teaching! Just wondering about pre-washing fabrics, how do you go about it? I’ve heard you should “torture wash” the fabrics 5 times or something like that, aka on high heat and dry on high too. I don’t have a dryer, so I won’t use that method to dry my pads, but do I really have to wash my fabrics that many times before sewing? Thanks! You’re great!
fabrics like cotton and bamboo used as a liner should be washed and dried 5 times before use because they shrink. if you don't prewash before using them, after you make the pad and wash it, it can start to bunch up because the core is shrinking
Is the Bamboo Fleece you mention comparable to Zorb? My daughter has extremely heavy cycles and I'm looking to try something like this for her and I am looking for the absolute best, most absorbent materials. Thanks for sharing!!
Looking to add this to my wee business as I make other reusable items but I’m a bit lost as to ideal templates. You said you leave a link below but I don’t see a link 🙈 be grateful if you could guid me in right direction x
Hi I'm watching before I buy a machine to do this I love this please make more you keep things easy for my disability 💕 could I ask when you are finished sewing and you take away your fabric /project from the machine how does the thread detach on it's own?
@@billettescrafts Thanks! :) Do you have advice for storing used pads like this untill washed? I'm worried if stored in a sealed wet bag they will ruin
Hi do you think your patton would be ok for incontinence pad. Did you do straight stitch for the whole project. Thank you for sharing your vlog from Michelle in Australia.
Can you tell me the inner layer amount for moderate heavy and overnights. And how would I make a liner and a wet bag, im a little confused. Thank you so much for such a thorough video!
My question is when you're out and about during the day and need to change the pad, are you taking along a plastic bag to put the soiled ones in until you get home?
You can roll and snap them closed in a tight package and can use a pvc lined fabric to make a pouch for your soiled pads. I have one that came with my pads from another seller and I just wash my pads when I get home
Could i take my favorite disposable pads and make my own "stensil" with? Could i just make the wings longer? Im on low budget and i cant affort buying patterns.
Love this tutorial! I have been doing lots of research before I start and this is informative and simple! I looked up the soft shell fleece on the website from your link. Does it matt which one? There is knit, jacket, activewear, shell grid, etc lol. It’s showing most of them are two colors. How do I know which one is the side that will be visible? Thanks for the help!
grid is nice. But if they’re softshell, any will work. You’ll know when you get it. The fabric or soft side is the exterior or pretty side. The more waterproof smooth side is the non pretty side
For the backer fabric , yes a waterproof type fabric would work. I like soft shell fleece but it’s still breathable so you don’t get sweaty. For the topper fabric and core though, you want to use absorbent fabric
Im new to sewing and wanted to make some pads for myself, but am confused on all the types of fabrics. Is the cotton fabric you're using just like a standard quilting cotton fabric?
Haleigh Woolsey yep, standard cotton from Walmart or Joann’s etc will do great for your topper. Buy yourself one yard of soft shell fleece at Fashionfabricsclub.com for your backer. Their having a sale for like $9 a yard. A yard will get you 20-30 pads👍
I want to make some pads for myself, but I don’t really understand what fabric I am supose to use (for topper and middle part) I live in Quebec in Canada and I speak french so I am really confuse
I have a question. When making the pad, does it really matter whether or not we still cut on the straight of the grain? Or sometimes we can save material by cutting cattywampus, I call it.
So topper goes against your skin? Would that mean that the design you choose would get messy and the plain soft shell fabric would be on the outside? If so how can I reverse that because I'd rather the design not get bloody. I hope that makes sense.
beedeebabies yes it does. In that case you wouldn’t want to use softshell fleece as your backer/layer against your panties. You’d want to buy PUL which is a waterproof fabric commonly used in cloth diapers making. It’s all about how you layer your materials and then flip them to the right side out.
Tamora Martinez i do not use zorb because it caused allergic reactions in my clients and myself. I use Heavy Organic bamboo Fleece. But if your wanting a less expensive way to start, you can use 100% cotton, any color. Layers would depend on what you’d like for absorbency. Example: 1 layer would be a light or pantyliner, 3/4 layers a moderate. 4/5 layers a heavy etc... have fun with it and try new things
Nice video...I have a couple of questions. Are you purposely cutting the first fabric on the bias? (It appeared that way to me, but I'm watching on my phone. ) Would cotton light weight quilt batting work?
I do not think quilt batting would work well for absorbency but try it out. I like Heavy Organic bamboo fleece , you can find it on etsy. A yard or half yard will get you a long way
I know from reading your reply to a question below that you prewash your fabrics except for the backer. Do you dry them in the dryer as well? Thank you!
How long would this pad last a young lady? I'm wanting to make them for our local school girls to use if needed but I'm just wounding how they wouldn't just bleed straight through them because normal ones have that plastic backing that stops that happening so I'm just trying to understand if there any good for them to use if you get what I mean I'd have to put on it how often it would need to be changed if possible :) x
There’s many different ways to wash cloth pads. I recommend air dry or if you use dryer, tumble low Soak overnight in a bucket with your choice of soap. Hand rinse and scrunch to remove as much blood as possible and the wash in the washer in cold. I like to run them a second time in the washer on warm just ensure they sanitized. Every person kind of developed their own routine

I want to make some pads for myself, but I don’t really understand what fabric I am supose to use (for topper and middle part) I live in Quebec in Canada and I speak french so I am really confuse
For the topper, its cotton. For the middle, its fleece.
What kind of fabrics can I use that I may have at home an old Tshirt, towels will it still work for heavy flow ???
Maybe, it would be pretty thick. One yard of heavy organic bamboo fleece would get you a lot! Etsy.com
I love those little lables. Where do you print/get them with your logo?
What is the GSM of the heavy bamboo fleece that you like to use? You said two layers for a heavy? How many layers for an overnight? Thank you!
We Are Family Homeschoolers 400gsm. I use two layers of Heavy Organic Bamboo Fleece and 1 layer of flannel for an overnight
New to this. Which side is worn up? The fleece or the print.
The print
Thanks for showing us how to make these! :) So what absorbancy level would you consider these?
1 layer of Heavy Organic Bamboo fleece is moderate. 2 layers is heavy. Friends on the maker too
I have a question. When making the pad, does it really matter whether or not we still cut on the straight of the grain? Or sometimes we can save material by cutting cattywampus, I call it.
No it doesn’t matter. I have never had a problem with this ✌🏻
Can you use cotton batting as we use in quilting??
I don’t think so, but you could try one. I don’t know how absorbent quilt batting would be
Are you still making pads? I can't find your Facebook group and I'm only seeing polymer clay earrings on your craft page on Instagram.

The softshell fleece backer would stop their flow if use a PUL layer in there. Years, if properly cared for
From personal experience, it is surprisingly durable and stops the flow better than commercial ones. The only hassle I find is washing.
What would the washing instructions be for these? I am assuming not to put them in the dryer?
There’s many different ways to wash cloth pads. I recommend air dry or if you use dryer, tumble low
