A step by step guide to sewing a cloth pad from start to finish :-)
Best tutorial on CZcams 🎉❤
I love how she is so nice to her viewers like giving them tips if their not experienced in sewing and explaining back tacking if you don't have the button. I really like that about her
Hola buenas noches, disculpa la tela donde pego el inserto como se llama
this pad would be my idea of heaven I've had a heavy flow for years and I mean that top fabric print though, I love me a mermaid! :) xx
The most complete and simple directions that I have seen.
I just followed this video with my own pattern and it came out perfect! I'm so excited to finally have a beautiful pad; all my others look like crap! Haha!! Thanks so much; you're great!
I recently created my own thinx underwear (panties with a built in pad). This really helped me develope my own pad design. Thanks for the tutorial.
Do you have a pattern available or a sorta demo on how you made a full panty thanks :)
I want to make some for my autistic daughter, I have not found a pattern that is not $10+ if you have one or the measurements that would be great!
This tutorial is so clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much for this helpful information.
Fantastic tutorial and love how you use the walking foot on your sewing machine and the turning tab perfect
Your advice helped me to make my pads a LOT cleaner and more elegant looking. Thank you so much!
So glad you found it helpful :-)
Loved this. I love watching sewing videos. So glad you have been able to get back to your machine. Love that fabric.
Thanks Louise, glad you liked it! Its good to be back at the machine. I searched everywhere for that fabric and finally found it at the fabric show I went too. I'm starting to wish I got more than a meter lol.
The best teaching video I have seen on the subject! Thank you for making it! Now I will watch your others too. :-)
Chris thank you, I'm so glad you fund it helpful!
I love the mermaid pad. It is so beautiful!
I've just stumbled across you CZcams channel. You're videos are fantastic! Thank you for them x
Ecopads Australia Thank you, I'm so glad you like them!
Thank you ! Great tutorial, full of precious tips and so precise ! You are a born teacher.
👍🏻
Thank you :-)
Great video! Straight to the point, easy clear instructions, well done! Thank you.
Girly I love your fun images on toppers like the lion king one😍
Omg. I love you! This video was soooooo helpful! I can now successfully make turned and top stitched pads that i would consider 'pretty'. Thank you so much for your help!
Thank you hun, I'm so happy it was helpful and you found the tips helped you make some new pretties!!
merci beaucoup grâce à vous j'ai réalisé moi aussi mon premier cloth pad
I found that if I use a straight stitch in a larger length when I sew my core layers, it helps to keep my core from stretching out of shape and getting wonky.
Great tip :-)
I really enjoyed watching this ;; I LOOOOOOVE YOUR SEWING, you are all my goals. Thank you so much for the tutorial ❤️
Thank you for making this video 💜 it is very thorough and clear. I hope I can make cloth pads as well as you one day :) 🌺
Thank you :-)
thank you so much Claire the best tutorial !
Can you please explain again what to do when using only bamboo fleece as the absorber? I didn't quite understand what you meant when you explained how to avoid it stretching out. Love your videos so much, thank you!
Thanks for this! I have just started making my own pads and couldn't figure out how to keep the stitches right when working with multiple layers of Zorb (or how how to get a nice, smooth rounded end!)
excellent
Very nice 👌
This is a great tutorial
Thanks love all your videos
Best tutorial😘💕Thanks for sharing
great tutorial claire :) xx
Hello! My resolution for this year is to get closer to my body and my cycles and making cloth pads would be perfect. I have a sewing machine but I don't know how to sew so thank you for the easy instructions. :) My questions are: (and maybe you mention this in another video) how do you clean the pads? If you use the PUL, can you dry them in a machine? Do you have little bags to keep the used pads snug in your bag while you're on the go?
Great fabric
😍. Thanks for the tutorial👍🏾
je kan gewoon in supermarkt maandverband halen veel beter gemakkelijker en sneller en handiger
Thank you so much for that 👍😉
not sure if i will get an answer, but just wondering if that is 500gsm bamboo fleece....ive watched a bunch of your videos and you talk about having a really heavy flow.....mine was really bad this month and 2 layers of 500 gsm bamboo fleece wasn't enough.....i used cotton topper and soft shell fleece back in some, and hidden pul in others ....the softshell leaked straight through and the pul ones leaked off the sides.....any suggestions would be great....thanks so much, i really enjoy your videos and hope all is still well with you
WTF, legit just had youtube give me a tampon commercial for this video
Seriously! Its a joke really! I was watching a video the other day on natural anti-inflammatory foods and supplement and got a advert for Ibuprofen!!!
What type of fabric is the topper? Does it matter what the fabric is for the topper?
I also have the same trouble you have with your zorb fabric stretching while stitching.
where do you shop for these cloths im having a hard time at my fabric story's
VERY helpful. Thank you!
Hi Cleo! Is it maybe possible to write the name/types of fabric you use? Because My english is not that on point to understand them so good :) Thank you so much!
I'm new to both sewing and cloth menstruation pads.. The videos I've been watching always seem to place to snaps on the wings so the pretty designed side would be the side getting bloody.. Seems like you'd have the fleese facing your body.. It seems like it would absorb the blood better.. Am I right?
Pretty side to your body, as the zorb and rest of the absorbant layer is the between that and the PUL. If you had the black side up, it goes straight to the PUL (breathable plastic) layer, with nothing in between.
where can I get that clear plastic for sewing patterns? thank you
I just use the clear plastic chopping boards you can get at the shops :-)
Sandra Ruiz $1 store cutting board
I'm sorry I have another question I am new to this with a lot to learn. Which side of the bamboo fleece goes facing your body the flat side or the fluffy side. Thank you again
You can use it either way round, i prefer the bobbly side towards the body :-)
thank you!!!!!
Hello, can you please tell me where I can find that pattern? it would be the perfect size for what my daughter needs. I don't have a pattern that shape for her yet. Thanks in advance! :) Your tutorial was perfect, and I LOVE that mermaid fabric!
You can get free patterns online or in cloth pad groups on facebook, there are lots available! You can even buy them on etsy too. I am afraid i do not offer my patterns for sale or free as they took me months to perfect/send to testers etc and i use them for my own pads that i sell.
Whitney sews offers a free pattern I just found here is her CZcams link telling you how to get it
couldn't post the link but you can search for her channel she also has a video on "wet bags" for storing them if you need that
love this video,I cant do this. so do you have a website where i can purchase do you custom make, with different materials and sizes.
I currently sell via my Facebook group :-) There is a link the drop down under the video hun
Disculpa la tela do de pegaste el inserto como se llama
how many layers of each inner did you use? and do you use pul on all your sizes or just the bigger one?
Lorna J How many layers depends on the absorbency amd core fabric you are using. I use pul in all my pads as it's the no leak layer with cord as the backer. if you were using a water resistent fleece backer like windpro then you could skip the pul. Everyone is different though and has a different flow, for me personally I go through all other backers unless there is pul.
Hi, how much seam allowance do you give for the topper and how much smaller is the code than the top?
therese bizabishaka I generally go for around a cm or a tad more seam allowance and the same again less for the core :-)
Is it safe for PUL to iron the pad? Won't it be 'hurt' by a heath?
As long as your PUL is inside your pad and you are ironing on the top of the pad heat and steam will not damaged your PUL. Its actually safe to put PUL in a hot wash on 60 and in the dryer on hot as it was made for the medical industry and to be steralised :-)
What a great teacher. Don't suppose you make to sell please
Hi, Yes i do make to sell! You can find my facebook group here which has links to the etsy, stocking dates and info on customs etc facebook.com/groups/FlowOfTheGoddessClothPads/
I love that mermaid fabric. where did you buy it?
trendafile I got it at a fabric show, I've never seen it in a fabric store but I'm sure you might be able to get some online :-)
Does anyone know if she has the pattern available any where?
What machine do you have? Is it a good one? (:
it's a Janome DC3050 and I have to say I love it! I got it last year and it's a brilliant machine :-)
Where can I buy zorb? can I use flannel?
The_Northend_Gypsy Zorb is purchased online, just search zorb 1 fabric in Google. yes you can use flannel for your core as an option too :-)
Which presser foot did you use in this video?
In that video i was using a walking foot :-)
on this item did you use a product called diaper liner it has a protected plastic that soft and washable
Monique Mcdowell I used PUL which is polyurethane laminate. it's often used in diapers too, I've never heard of the specific product name you mention but it sounds the same :-)
whats the measurements?
What kind of sewing machine do you use for this?
Eva K You can use any sewing machine :-)
Hand wheel? That's what I call the thing that puts the needle down
Yes hand wheel! I could not think of the word for the life of me lol
HiYour groupies don't mind cat hairs We love animals You too
why don't any of them slow how to add the snaps!! lol other than that. this is my favorite diy video
MaryFaith Mobley because it’s pretty easy if you get the snaps and tool. There are tons of videos on attaching snaps but it’s really not that hard. Your snap kit will come with instructions too
Please translate it into urdu
Am I being really stupid here? You make these to use them like you'd use any pad during your period yes? Seems a lot of effort for something you aren't going to see and neither will anyone else I hope?! Not during usage anyway!
Louise Davis Yes they are used just like a disposable but not thrown away. You can choose to make plain coloured pads or even all black or white it's personal choice. Many people though prefer nice patterns as it makes not the nicest time of the month a bit happier and you build up a collection of all different designs. It's not about other people seeing them just giving yourself a smile when it gets to that time of the month.
Flow Of The Goddess Cloth Pads
Louise Davis hello :) they potentially last for years so it's probs worth a couple of hours of sewing (to make a set) plus, no landfill waste and (for people like me) I get 'burnt' by commercial pads, I can't use tampons due to complications after having a 10lb baby and like others say they just make 'that time of the month' something that makes me smile. My daughters (23 + 17) also use them after just trying 1 they wouldn't go back to disposable (the 17 yr old is squeamish but even she doesn't mind the difference in process) I hope this helps? Have a wonderful day :)
