for the last months, i have accummulated diff types of fabric to make "bubs'stuff"... one of the "stuff" i will really need would be reusable breast pads to soak up any leakages...
material used: flannelette cotton (off cuts from bed sheet), jersey cotton (off cuts from resizing t shirts), skin colour stretch jersey (off cuts from nude slip), PEVA polyethylene vinyl acetate (waterproof layer from shower curtain)
what to do? cut circles, cut out 40 degrees, sew cone shape, stack diff layers (from outside nude layer, then PEVA waterproof layer, then absorbant jersey / flannelette layer, to inner soft flannelette layer) & sew together in zigzag stitch--> final result = cone shaped / contoured breast pads
circle had to be about 10-12 cm in diametre... i used my packing tape as a mould, traced and cut out on fabric...
much cheaper to use PEVA as waterproof layer rather than PUL polyurethanelaminate
sew 40 degrees and then cut off. do this for each layer individually
use protractor to draw on 40 degrees first --> smaller breast, greater degrees; larger breast, smaller angle...
cut off after sewing... will become contoured cone...
stack diff layers and then sew together at the circular edge with zig zag stitch
trim excess fabric on the edges
