This has given me so much hope‽ my little dog will pee on the washable faux fur rug and now imma gonna fix it so I can snap these on the back to protect my carpet‽
Washing tip- I use cage liners foe my guinea pigs and when I was I hose them off first to get as much urine out as possible so I'm not washing in pee water. I do use the vinegar. I also put my pads to dry in the sun as the UV rays are a natural disinfectant. I do live in Georgia so I'm sure many people in the winter won't have this option
That’s a great idea! I wasn’t even thinking about that because fortunately my ferrets are litter box trained so they don’t typically go to the bathroom on the liners, but I know a lot of people that watch my video have other kinds of pets kinds of that my not use a litter box
Do you have any advice for making smaller ones from a bigger one? I need a 17x17 one for our new puppy (exact fit of a small area) but none come that small
If you place the right sides of the fabric facing together before sewing it, you should be able to use both sides and even if you didn’t you could still use both sides, but one side maybe duller than the other. To avoid this, place the two pieces of fleece right sides facing together and sew around all 4 sides, but leave an opening big enough to flip the pad right side out. Then fold the seams of the opening inside the pad so that it looks like the rest of the edges and pin or clip the opening closed. Top stitch around the whole thing, making sure to sew the opening closed. When you’re done the good side of the fabric should be on the outside of the front and back of the pad. If any of that didn’t make sense, please let me know
Thanks for replying. I should clarify my question. From what I (thought) I understood about the human pee pads, isn’t there only one side that will absorb the fluid and the other side wouldn’t be absorbant because it’s the waterproof side that prevents the fluid from going straight through. (? Did that make my question clearer or more confusing. lol)
@@BBslittlesister I’m sorry, I didn’t even think about that 😂 yes, so on the human per pad, one side will have a most plastic feeling back that prevents it from leaking.
Your not overthinking, you could definitely use both sides! I normally make what I call the bottom a solid color and the top in a pattern fabric, but since not everyone does it that way and you can use both sides, there doesn’t necessarily have to be a top or bottom.
Omg you use little clips instead of pins...GENIUS!
I love them! I never use kind any more 😂. I bought 500 of them in EBay not to long ago, their the best!

@FerretTails I also have an old dog (14) that can't always hold it.
Love your tutorials, and even better, that you have an Etsy shop!
I love this!!! Brillant
this is perfect

Does it matter which side is facing up?

I may be overthinking this, but how can you tell the top from the bottom once it's sewn shut?
