I just attempted to make a pad i made up my own pattern and it failed lol :o

[V8]

Wow, you did a terriffic job Jac!! Looks like a great fit on too!

I reckon i could do it if i could be bothered, i made a quilt once, but my mums sewing machine is a bit old and dodgy now. I'd love to know what kind of sewing machine you got for only $120 sounds like a bargain!

Ds wore the Thomas nappy today and it stayed on for 3-4 hours and when i took it off it hardly gelt wet,but it was cause i could feel it,it had just soaked the wee up REALLY good.

I am so happy with my effort,next on my list is to buy a pattern.
