I'm going to crank out a bunch of pads tonight. I finally found the perfect pattern for me and I need to re-stash. I have two questions for you all
( Read more... )
1.) I don't think it would do much harm if you cut the fabric on the bias. Just be sure to iron the fabric to keep it stable and easy to work with. Quilter's Cotton is much more forgiving than a knit would be :)
2.) PUL unfortunately has one laminated side, so I don't think both sides will be waterproof. In order for a pad to be reversible, it should have no type of waterproofing. In my opinion, PUL is a bit too much for a liner. You could use polyester fleece, it would add some thickness, but it's way more breathable. But then again, you could only use one side making it not reversible.
You could construct the liner as so:
1.) 2 thin cores and 2 PUL cuts. 2.) Sew the cores as desired with 1 PUL cut as the last layer for each core. 3.) Sew the 2 cores together (with wrong sides of PUL together). 4.) Then attach the core to the topper fabric.
There is also another method in which you take the cores that are already assembled (step #2 above) and sew each core to it's own topper fabric (as if you are making two pads). Carefully align them and sew the two topper fabrics together. Now you should have 1 liner with two different sides that are reversible and have core stitching.
