2009 National Sewing Month Contest Submissions

Carritelli_Lorie.jpg - Lorie Cerritelli I make my own cloth menstrual pads, baby wipes and brest pads. The baby wipes are the easiest thing in the world to make, I had so many flannel receiving blankets that I had many I never used to they got turned into wipes, they're 8"x8" squares with a zigzag stitch around the edge. The breast pads can be made out of your smallest fabric scraps, I usually use the top, bottom and 3-4 layers of flannel inside. The pads are also easy but the most difficult out of these 3 projects. I sewed snaps onto the wings so I could close them. They have anywhere from 2-8 layers of flannel and whatever else I have inside them.
