I'm so happy that I found your channel. My daughter just started with cloth pads. I do some sewing for myself and sometimes for other people. So my daughter asked me if I could make cloth pads. With your video's I'm sure I can. The only thing I can't buy in the Netherlands is Zorb. But I can use other fabrics. Can't wait to start. 💟💞💗💖💕💓
You can totally do this! She will love being able to pick some prints :) Zorb isn't a must, by any means. I just chose to use it this time because I always use bamboo terry. I'm so glad that the video could be helpful!
I LOVE the tipp About pulling the thread of the topstitching to the back. I hate the backstitch look but i dient think of that option.. Ill definitly do that from now on! Thanks.
You said you pull the strings to the back, I'm not sure how you do that? I'm a visual learner so hearing that doesn't make sense to me lol. Do you have a video of you doing that up close to the camera? Explaining how you do it? I'd love to implement this to make nicer looking pads!
Hello I just want to say I am glad I found your channel but one thing I tried to click on the link to get the patterns but it doesn't work is there a way for you to send it to me pls and thank you ❤😊
I recently started sewing my own cloth pads, and I have problems with side leakage. The blood absorbs outside of the core sometimes (which is super wide) and soaks the topper and backer, which in turn wets my panties. It's like I need my core to extend into my wings to prevent this from happening. Would the use of Zorb eliminate this problem? I upcycled fabric that I had on hand since it was my first time making them. I used cotton, terry cloth and polar fleece. Any advice would be helpful.
@@corkylorenz thanks for the feedback. I am going to make pads for my daughter and panties for myself, my daughter, and my mom. I plan to use it for the panties for sure.
I think this is great for the environment but having a little bit of a hard time wrapping my head around the idea. How is leakage prevented, I noticed that there was no protective lining? Some people have a very heavy flow.
She is using what looks like a hard face windpro fleece which is an extremely water resistant (almost waterproof) fabric. You can also use anti pill fleece or pul as a backer. Providing that you have an adequate core you should not leak through your backer material
What is the subsitute for zorb ? My daughter has started her periods 2 months back and she is a heavy bleeder for atleast one week, and usually all her pads leak even xxl the disposable ones. Would like to make her longer and absorbant pads. Can't get zorb here.. what about flannel or microfiber or bamboo spandex bamboo velour?
Do you (or anyone else reading this) use any specific thread material when making pads? I know the other materials are chosen to be safe/nonirritating against the body, but are there any considerations in choosing thread material? Thanks :)

I'm starting this cloth pad thing and sewing my own. I'm after my first cloth pad period and I just LOVED it, so I'm going to sew more of them since I only have like 7. I do have a question though, I was wondering, since it's never visible on any videos. when doing the last all over stitch, just for it to look nice, do you also sew through the core or is that only the top and bottom layers? I just don't want to sew through the core there if I'm not supposed to.

I would recommend using Zorb or try extending core
@@saramach123 Thank you for the recommendations. I'll definitely try them soon. 😁
Thank you, my only remaining question is your opinion on Zorb ? Very nice camera work, and clear instructions.
I like sewing with it and don’t have issues when using pads with it. It’s just generally not requested by customers so I don’t sell pads made with it.
I like that you don’t have to prewash zorb 1

Beautiful
What fabric did you use for the topper?
Hello, thank you for the wonderful video. Is the link to the pattern broken? I was not able to open it.
I think this is great for the environment but having a little bit of a hard time wrapping my head around the idea. How is leakage prevented, I noticed that there was no protective lining? Some people have a very heavy flow.
The plain colored fabric on the back is likely water resistant.
Some people may use PUL or fleece for backing. From what I read, these materials may help avoid leaking, depending on how heavy the period is
She is using what looks like a hard face windpro fleece which is an extremely water resistant (almost waterproof) fabric. You can also use anti pill fleece or pul as a backer. Providing that you have an adequate core you should not leak through your backer material
Very nice Tutorial.
Wonderful tutorial, thank you!
This is a great video! Did you use polyester thread to sew the smaller core to the bigger core? Do you use polyester through the whole pad too?
Do you wash/shrink the zorb before sewing? If not, how does it affect bunching after the pads have been washed and dried a few times?
I ordered zorb fabric off of amazon and when it came it had care instructions saying do NOT was prior to sewing
If you are using zorb 1 you shouldn't prewash. If you are using any other generation of zorb you will need to prewash it

Would like to make her longer and absorbant pads. Can't get zorb here.. what about flannel or microfiber or bamboo spandex bamboo velour?
My friend told me she wears two pads or 3 during her period at a time to prevent leaks and it works
Good and useful video
Where did you get the fabric the Roses

Cotton is always good choice..I think.
