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. |
