Pad Donation & Nearly ready to restock
I was planning to restock the stores at the beginning of Feb, but I’m running a bit late due to the hot weather and forgetting to order some PUL
Hopefully next week. I could restock now, but I want to have a decent supply and some of most styles/lengths of pad.
So far I’ve got a lot of pantyliners, small and regular length winged pads, a few hourglass pads, but no Nights or longs…. yet (they are cut out, just waiting to be sewn) Also a couple of pouches for menstrual cups are on their way too.
I was hoping to have some nappies sewn up, but I probably won’t get the chance. Though I still have 4 pocket nappies that just need their elastic put in, that I’d planned to have done for the store opening that never happened!
Its incredibly hot in my sewing room on the really hot days, which limits what I can do… plus we’ve been building a cubby, reorganising the house and other life stuff too.
I have almost finished sewing my pads for the donation… I just have to overlock the last belted pads and snap the winged ones. I’ve got 147 pads all up (mostly a PUL base with inserts, but a few pockets and AIOs too), and 326 inserts. So that’s a decent start for a donation, adding the 100 pads from www.lilypads.com.au, and 17 pads others have sent in.
And that’s about all that has been happening.
