As part of the Pop Culture/Characters stocking on Cloth Pad Shop I’ve added these new pads.
I focused on some fabrics I’ve not used for a while – so there are Hello Kitty prints, Dr Seuss prints, some little Geisha girls and even….. Captain Jack Sparrow! 🙂
Find them on my CPS store – obsidianstar.clothpadshop.com
All orders over $20 (from participating stores, of which I am one :D) will get a scratchy card included with their order, that gives you a random freebie/offer.

I’ll be restocking over the next few weeks as I’m REALLY low on stock in pretty much everything! Check my Cloth Pad Shop store this week for a special themed stocking 😉
I’ll be stocking most sizes, but if there is anything in particular you’re looking for, let me know and I’ll try to make sure I include it.
.
To bring the tone down a little 😛 I’d like to explain why I’ve been rather absent lately.

My last restocking for the year and I’ve made some pretties for you 😀
First up, the most important reason to celebrate in December…….. that’s right…… Rogue One!!!! 😀
Ok no.. Just kidding, I mean Christmas (no… I really mean Rogue One)… 😀
So for all you fellow Star Wars fans, I have some very special pads! Made from an adorable Knitorious custom print!
As well as a couple of other pads in Star Wars fabrics.
I’ve also marked down some of my older Star Wars pads, check those out here:
http://www.obsidianstar.com.au/product-tag/starwars
.
Then pads for the other celebration in December – Christmas! 😀
You’ll find these pads on my Cloth Pad Shop store
I’m also having a special on older Christmas pads, find them here
(Yes, of course I have purple Christmas fabric!)
And last but not least….. just for a bit of fun, some Geisha and Tattoo Girls
Also some Mini pads
.
I’ve spread the products over my 2 stores – my Obsidian Star website and my Cloth Pad Shop store. If you would like to purchase items from both stores, place both orders and make payment for both orders. I will then refund any excess postage from posting your 2 orders together.
.
Pads like the Geisha, Tattoo girls and SugarSW ones have been specially cut to make the most of the print, so they are priced higher due to the fabric being pricey as well as the extra wastage of cutting them like that.

Happy Halloween everyone!
Any purchase of Halloween themed products today will get some extra Halloween treats included in their order! I’ve got some new Halloween and Sugar Skull pads on offer!!
As well as Halloween Pad Drying Straps (use them to make a chain of pads for space saving drying!)
.. and Sugar Skull Earrings
On my Cloth Pad Shop store (http://www.clothpadshop.com.au/store/obsidian-star), use the code “OSHALLOWEEN” today only to get 25% off pads that are marked with a “sale” mark on them (I’ve reduced them by 1c so the sale marker comes up on them so you know which ones the code is valid on – as you can see in the pic)
Also – as a special offer I’m giving away 2 special Halloween shaped pads (Ghost and pumpkin) – on orders over $10 (excluding shipping). First come first served with these. (My daughter nabbed the bat – sorry :D)

http://www.clothpadshop.com.au/shop/halloween-pumpkin-liner
These special shapes were made so that I could create free patterns of these (which you can get by doing the CPS hunt!) – So they haven’t been tested (normally I’d have people trying new pad designs to make sure they fit well), which is why I am offering them for free.

The new site is now open!
So my lovely mehendi patterns are gone *sob* (couldn’t work out how to incorporate them in this new theme in a way that worked well) but the new layout is cleaner and I hope you’ll find it easier to find everything.
Sold out items now disappear from view, so they don’t clutter up the system. I’ve also moved some of my stuff to a “bellydance” sub-site, because I thought the side menu was getting too long and complicated as it was, and I have my hat Pins and “Red Hatter” inspired stuff on another “Amaranthine” sub-site too – both of those can be found by clicking “My Other Stores” on the top menu.
While transferring stuff from the old site I found a few products that had said they were sold out on the site but in my admin screen (and in reality) they weren’t sold…. Grrr! so there’s some new (old) stock available (again) 🙂
I also realised there were an awful lot of Star Wars, Pirate, Superhero and similar print themes (mostly because they interest me so I go a bit mad making HEAPS of them :D), and barely any pretty florals and other such prints. So I focused on making more floral pads for this stocking.
As a special offer – spend over $20 this month to receive your very own Obsidian Star! 😀 *
(They are star shaped pendants, made from the obsidian gemstone I get my name from!)
.
New products added this month included:
Arabian Nights pads
More of my updated Nymph and Neophyte length pads
Also some pantyliners in Mini and Nymph lengths
For lovers of the Base & Insert style pads, we have…
.
And finally… Cloth Pad Shop has moved too, (that new site design looks vaguely familiar 😉 ) and we’re celebrating our 9th birthday!
So I made some celebratory birthday themed pads!
*Spend over $20 not including postage to receive 1 obsidian star pendant. While stocks last (although I have 50 of them so I shouldn’t run out :D)

I’ve been having a few issues with my web host, so it’s time to move!
I’ve been having troubles where items were overselling….. and where items were showing as sold out on the store when they weren’t sold out… Also I’ve been waiting for the developer to add a free shipping discount for 7 years now, and fix some other tissues and it seems likely that stuff like that is never going to be updated/added…. so time to move.
… but in the latest ironic issue – I tried to have a 50% off sale to clear out some old stock in preparation to move – but it seems it broke the system and instead of giving 50% off only items in the sale category, it is giving up to 80% off some items, and discounting things that shouldn’t be discounted (which for some reason are being given anything from 15% to 55% off ???). I tried removing the discounts and that’s not helped – it’s still stuck doing crazy stuff.
– so I’ve had to completely close the store down until that gets resolved. 😦
So that’s why the site is currently closed. Stay tuned for info on when the new site will be up!!! 🙂

I will still offer my old pad shapes as well (particularly as I have a HEAP already cut out!), but I have developed some slightly different variations on my Nymph, Neophyte, Maiden and Acolyte pad shapes (Priestess coming too). Mostly it is making the wing a bit more pointy and making the ends a bit rounder. I also sew these up a bit differently, using a method where I sew on the line I trace around my templates (instead of cutting on that line), which helps get the rounded shapes a little neater. It does require more fabric and takes a bit longer to sew, so I generally charge a little more for these newer shapes, particularly if also using more expensive fabric.

I wanted to make a blog post addressing this topic, as it’s something that is discussed a lot, with a lot of pad brands. When people talk about cloth pads “bunching” they are generally meaning 1 of 2 things. Either the back fabric of the pad “bunching”, or the pad “bunching” the underwear fabric when the pad is snapped onto the underwear.

I’ve made up a bunch of cute little tiny pad keyrings!
Including a pocket pad version, which can be used to carry little things! Awwwww 😀
And some regular sized, actual pads!
“Arabian Nights” pads
Regular Pads
