The 3000 pad giveaway pads…

… were sent out last week… sorry they were delayed.  They were sitting on my ironing board for a week, it’s been busy with work and personal sewing and stuff….

But, now that they should be in everyone’s hot little hands (though probably not the 2 US ones.. unless the post is being good…  Here they are:

There’s 4 of them, not 3… because I was so impressed with Liz’s entry, I had to make her one too.

So we have…

• Tereza’s pad – Priestess AIO with purple flannelette top, 2 layers bamboo fleece core with PUL and print cotton backing.  I like this pad, it’s purple obviously but it’s my favourite of the celestial prints I have.  She’d said: “I’d like an AIO pad,  priestess size, with PUL. I’d like deep dark colors like royal purple, navy blue, chocolate brown, burgundy and black, with either geometric, celestial, animal, dragon, candies or geisha patterns. Doesn’t have to match, just be complimentary, and I’d like flannel or velour, please.”

• Liz’s pad - Neophyte waterproofed pocket pad, with bamboo velour top, PUL and print cotton backing (with 2 double layer bamboo fleece inserts).  This one had me stressed a bit as I knew I had red paisley but misplaced it (because it was only a tiny bit left).. and while I have purple paisley, 2 other pads were purple, and she wanted red as her first choice… but after turning my sewing room upside down (well, not really) I found it – yay!  She’d said: “N3ophyt3. (Just cos I lik3 th3 word.) Pock3t with PUL, fl33c3 backing ok but not n3c3ssary.  V3lour, cotton minky or su3d3cloth good on top, (so anything but flann3l.) I lov3 R3D most of all and also would b3 silly not to say PURPL3 but also lov3 all th3 light3r colours in pr3f3r3nc3 to dark3r on3s. Can’t go past a good paisl3y patt3rn. Also lov3 rainbows and strip3s. Cut3sy past3lly ones with ch3rri3s, flow3rs or cupcak3s also acc3ptabl3. For my own compl3t3 s3lfish 3njoym3nt, th3 patt3rn is th3 most important.”

• Jodie’s pad – Cotton velour topped AIO Nymph length pad with 2 layers bamboo fleece core and PUL.  She’s a woman after my own heart with the love of purple   “Pantyliner Size, AIO, PUL, Velour, Purple (do I really have to pick more than one colour lol??  C’mon I know you’ll have oodles of purple fabric in your stash hehe!  Ok ok ummm any jewel tones – turquoise, blues, dark pinks) Love owls, cats, floral, swirls, patterns. Match either – I’m easy (not in THAT way lol)” (sorry, I had to include that last bit because it makes me giggle )

• Julie’s pad – Mini pantyliner with 2 layers flannelette one layer print cotton.  D’oh, I just realised I meant to put an extra snap setting on that one for her…   She’d said: “Mini, AIO, No PUL, I’d like the thinnest pantyliner you offer. Velour or cotton. Pink, purple, black, red, blue, baby pastels.  Hello Kitty, tattoo, cutesy, polka dots, red fruit, lotus, vintage floral. Prints matter more.”

So there we go… I hope you ladies like your new pads!

Also while I was making pads, I did a swap with Marnie from Noonee Wilga (I got a very beautiful purple velvet and owl print pad) and after much deliberation on fabrics (sometimes having too much choice is a curse) we went with the organic cotton & owl combo (so we both went for owls lol!), with my star sewing and I did some decorative stitching around the edge (which got a bit botched on the wing, but ignore that)

The weather outside was being silly while photographing, that’s why the backing mat looks totally different in each shot.
