Pads pads and more pads
I added some products to Cloth Pad Shop so I'd be nicely stocked for the GDUNH.... most of which are sold now, but I'm going to show them off here anyway.
Firstly, some Geisha pads
.
These turned out lovely I think, but boy were they a pain to make! I did decorative stitching on them with a satiny variegated blue-green rayon thread which my machine didn't like, so it kept snapping, and I'd have to unpick back far enough to secure the ends and continue the stitching sequence. Nightmarish. A friend saw them when I did the first couple and asked how much I was selling them for...I joked $80 haha I won't be using that thread again, though it's really pretty.
Then some Geisha boostable pantyliners
Which are really just a way to use up more of the Geisha fabric.... I only get about 5 pads to a half-3/4 yard because of the print... (and I think the fabric cost me around $20 a yard) and I end up with several complete Geishas (and almost complete ones) in the offcuts, and its such a shame to waste them. So this way I can get one on the back of the wing :) You can slide a booster in behind the wing for waterproofing and more absorbency.
Also a couple of Nymph AIOs
Some non-waterproofed maidens
And some AIO Maidens
Lastly, some Goddesses (most of which were snapped up before they actually made it to the site :))
So that's my latest stuff... I now have a massive pile of pocket pads sewn up because my machine decided to have a tanty and is in the shop being serviced... so I've only had the overlocker, and I need to get pads sewn up for a market I'm doing... so I figured I'd use up some of my vast supply of flannel and do some pockets.
