And pads!

These are made for the “Ecology” theme on CPS.  Using as much organic as I could.  I bought some hemp/organic cotton fleece and terry because the hemp I had was a blend with regular cotton and I wanted the organic variety.  There is organic cotton velour, hand dyed organic cotton (using alkanet) and the very cool paisley (PAISLEY!!).

…and colourgrown stripes!  (where the colours come from organic cotton crops selected for their different coloured yields, so they aren’t dyed, it’s just different cottons used to make the stripes!  Very cool!!!

I used the curvier nymph pad pattern I have but overlocked it instead of T&T  Which made it  longer (because no seam allowance)… so these are about 24cm long, which is longer than the 21cm-ish “nymph” length… but not as long as the 26cm-ish “Maiden” pads…. so I toyed with the idea of thinking up a new name for them  (“Maymph”, Nymaiden”? LOL) , and decided to just call them the “Curvy Nymph” which is what I’d been calling that pattern in my head… so that will have to do for now. And then I didn’t know where to put them in my store…. they are bigger than a nymph but smaller than a maiden?!?  So I put them in both categories :D   If I make more in this shape that are overlocked (I really like that shape better than the standard “nymph”), I might have to come up with a new name for them so it’s not confusing.

And I also made some Sherpa topped pads, but they aren’t exciting enough to show off here…  in Maiden and Goddess lengths… and wingless and g-string pads.

and lastly…some fold up pads which I’d been planning to make for ages but never got around to..

Still to do are the bamboo velour ones…. I’ll work on those over the weekend.

    Of course a couple of days after I get my order (thanks, I love it! :) ) you bring out some beautiful fold-up pads.

    I need to un-plug the mouse to stop myself right now.

    They are wonderful, you should be so proud!!
