Okay. Making my own pads has been on my to do list for years. It is finally at the top. I am doing some experiments so I have a question for those who may have made their own.
I am using PLU as the base layer. Should I cut it just a bit wider and pull it up the sides and just over the edge of the top of the "pad"? As a bit more of barrier to protect my clothing. Right now I'm piecing together the pad section. Top is a moisture wicking fabric, middle is cut from a cloth diaper, and PLU is one on the fabric covered baby pads. (I do tend to scavenge from existing things.)
After I hand stitch the edges, the top and middle layers will get edge stitching to create some "channels" to try to keep liquid where I would prefer for it to be. Then I was going to stitch on the PLU layer. By hand so I can keep from piercing the lower part and providing tiny holes for leaks.
Please, come say Hi! and share your experience/knowledge. I love to learn.
