Pad Template
Inner Pad Template

 |
Place template on the fold of the fabric and line up with the fold line on the
template, cut one. Take the same template and cut 2 pieces from the full
template. Not on a fold. Cut about 8 pieces of fabric from the oval template.
This number depends on the thickness of the fabric. |
 |
Here are all the pieces cut out. My oval pads are 4
layers each. This is thick double napped flannel I’m using. |
 |
Serge around the edges of your pads and down the center
seam of the 2 separate body pieces. This prevents fraying of
the flannel |
 |
Take your two separate body pieces and place them over the
whole body piece, lining up the edges. Your two center seams
with overlap |
 |
| Serge around the entire body. |
 |
| Here’s the body and the two pads. |
 |
Add a snap or two and you’re almost done. I say a snap or two
because some underwear have different crotch widths. If you
add an extra snap you wont have extra wings hanging down
from your underwear. |
 |
I like to have extra protection so I take a quilted waterproof crib
pad and cut one oval liner and serge the edges. Once I did this,
I never ever had a leaking problem. |
 |
I put the waterproof pad in last so it’s closest to the underwear.
I toss the soiled pads in a bucket of water on top of my
washer to soak. At the end of my cycle I pour the bucket into
the washer and spin out the water. I then do a regular wash
and dry them in the dryer. |
