LINGERIE BAGS
I needed to make some more Birthday presents so a few weeks ago I raided my stash and came up with four different fabrics. Two bags are made from quilting cottons, the third is made from Satin and cotton and the last is made from calico with some strips from a Jelly roll used at the top and bottom.
So I measured a rough pattern for the bag - 18inches x 12.5inches and added extra fabric so the bag would be lined. The black ribbon was purchased from Spotlight and was the only purchase I had to make.
The embroidery design came from here on Etsy and is easy to stitch out. The hardest decision was which colour threads to use!
What do you think? Like any of them??

PERSONALIZED BABY BIB AND BURP SET LADYBIRD
I just love ladybirds and with so many beautiful flannels available at the moment I decided to make this lovely personalized baby bib with a matching burp cloth (burp cloth is not personalized).
Baby bib is a perfect size for newborns with velcro closure and the matching burp cloth is made from a prefold diaper to which I have added a layer of flannel. There is a total of four ladybird fabrics to choose from and these are now listed on Ebay (Australia). Coming next is a gorgeous owl set!

CLOTH PADS
I recently purchased a pattern for making cloth menstrual pads on Etsy from seller Ihearttosew and immediately set about searching thru my huge stash of fabrics (flannel and cottons) to make these and found the only thing I had to purchase was PUL. So lucky to find someone on Ebay (Australia) selling it so once it arrived it was down to business.
Fabric requirements:
Flannel fabric
Towelling (terry)
PUL
Snaps
I made both cotton and flannel pads and would definately make more of the flannel - its nice and soft against the skin. The towelling I have on hand is lovely and thick and it definitely pays to add the PUL as this is a waterproof layer to prevent leaking. So I used a total of 4 layers as follows
Top or 1st layer – flannel or cotton
2nd layer – towelling
3rd layer – PUL
4th layer – flannel or cotton
I did change the shape of the pattern to make it easier to sew (see last pic) and plan on making many more! If you have been thinking about making these I would highly recommend you make one to try! They are easy to wash to, I soak mine overnight in a bucket of cold water then pop into a lingerie bag and wash with the towels!
