How to sew a Cloth Pad with a CORE FLAP

[@FrancisCastroMua]

You're the one creator that made it very clear on what I needed to use to make beautiful quality pads. Thank you so much!!

[@billettescrafts]

Your very welcome !

[@katharina...]

3:39 Ha ha, I laughed at the "It happens..." bit 😁 It sure does! I always put a small cotton ball up my butt crack on the first night of my period, to stop things from going any further 😆 and it works like a charm 👍 You work is beautiful, thank you for sharing! 🥰

[@billettescrafts]

Haha welcome

[@onlyapilgrim]

My life changed when I figured out you can fold 2 sheets of toilet paper, between the cheeks, and never leak out the back of your pad again. My deepest darkest secret lol

[@jessisblessed6689]

This is one of my favorite prints of all time. I keep some in my drawer for spring pads! I'm excited to watch the rest of the video!

[@billettescrafts]

I love it too

[@rainsofhealing]

This is so excellent! Your a great teacher and very skilled! Thanks for sharing this with us 🙏🥰

[@BagLadyStaCJ]

This is the first time I'm trying to make pads.....but this is the 3rd video I've watched...and ultimately the ONLY TUTORIAL I NEED!! Thank you!!

[@billettescrafts]

Thanks ❤️

[@bethanymay3056]

I have to say that I am thrilled I found your channel today. Your videos are great and are giving me confidence to give making my own pads a try. I honestly wasn't even thinking about it until you asked me if I was going to try to make my own in response to a comment I made on one of your videos. Now, I am binge-watching your how-to videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us! PS ~ Your KAM link is the Etsy Bamboo Fabric link. ;)

[@billettescrafts]

Oh shoot! Thank you. I’ll change that!! I’m so glad. You can do this!!

[@siiiriously3226]

i hope you tried it! it felt really empowering and fun to make my own, it´s really so much cheaper, than buying them, and i used basically free materialy for my first patch, (and later got some really pretty topper fabrics when i was more experienced) and i love how they feel. I´ve never worn single use pads, always tamposn for all my life, but cloth pads are very different for me than single use.

[@siiiriously3226]

your videos are great! your explanations are simple, yet thourough and you teach how to make high quality projects. thanks for your work!

[@nj8215]

This is such a great idea! To attach it in the middle

[@billettescrafts]

Glad you like it!

[@DannyFlay]

Please make more videos! You are appreciated!

[@S-E-Lomax]

Doesn’t sound vain at all… I’m with you on that one: Anything that falls in the toilet is GONE. 🤣🤣🤷🏽‍♀️

[@billettescrafts]

For sure girlfriend ✌🏻

[@heart.shaped.locket]

I have always had terrible trouble with my periods, they are very heavy and fast flowing an prone to leaking, theyre awful. I think if I bought some exposed core pads and some interlabial pads and sewed them together myself, it might be the perfect solution. I dont think im ready to sew a whole pad on own yet! Havent seen that combo in any shops yet so I will try myself!

[@GaiaCarney]

Thank You, Billette’s Crafts 💐for creating & sharing this!

[@starcreativestudio01]

Thanks for the video! I'd love to see one on making wet bags. 😁

[@billettescrafts]

Go to my channel! I have one there

[@MsDeeDeeGraham]

You're awesome I wished I found you sooner.

[@LEARNSWAHILIWITHPATRICIA]

Thank you Billette.

[@billettescrafts]

Welcome

[@debrasonner5970]

Would these work as bladder leak pads? What would you use differently for the absorbent

[@billettescrafts]

Yes they would, try three layers

[@andreatestani5027]

I really like your videos, very helpful. Can you make a video of liner cloth pads? Thank you!

[@tkreusables3136]

Very helpful, thank you.

[@msales1226]

Thank you so much again!❤️

[@brunacirelli]

BRILLIANT!!!

[@jean2852]

No silly questions right? I want to make some for for my daughter. Do you make like a little bag or something to carry soiled ones home?

[@billettescrafts]

Yes, I have a video on my channel for wetbags !

[@Bp-nh1kp]

Super great idea! Might work well for incontinens too. Just wondering how it feels on a bikeride😳

[@billettescrafts]

Ha! You get used to it

[@penelope-oe2vr]

I gush, I may try this and see if it helps with side leaks.

[@pscfoss6711]

I cant seem to get first video that has the pattern. can you link the pattern .

[@ewakraft5770]

❓️Where do you get your template from? Do you think a core plap also helps with incontinence?

[@billettescrafts]

I don’t know about incontinence , give it a try. I got my pattern homemade or from Versodile

[@ewakraft5770]

@@billettescrafts Thanks for answering ❣️

[@Mar_Moño]

I just found this video, but has anyone really used a pad like this? It's the first time seeing one like this, does it actually work? I'm subscribing, like your videos

[@billettescrafts]

Thank you, yes I have many I use and they were popular when I sold them in my Etsy shop.

[@1201-hy9cc]

Could i just hand sew it?

[@marie4585]

wear get pads for fecal incontenance? I have used disposable store pads for this. But hope to find something better.

[@anneoconnorao]

I'm going to make some for me and my mom. I also ordered period underwear from Etsy with lining all the way up in the back and a good way forward. Good luck!

[@sarah.writer]

Do you think I could use buttons rather than snaps?

[@billettescrafts]

Try it! It will not be as convenient but give it a go

[@xWaffleHaus]

Lately when I sew with flannel, I find it bunching up (I think the term is ‘puckering’) in my machine and stretching. This is my first time experiencing this, but I’m a new sewer. I’ve lowered my tension and changed my needle, but still having issues! Any tips? Maybe ironing the fabric before I try sewing?

[@billettescrafts]

I’ve never had flannel to this. Trying pinning it down really well. Also ironing it before hand. Send me a pic on Instagram of what it’s doing

[@siiiriously3226]

Ahh, that's annoying... :/ Have you prewashed the fabric, before sewing? Shrinkage it's the only thing that comes to my mind as an explanation... 🤔

[@magdagopaul5225]

@@siiiriously3226 maybe clean under the plate of the machine or check tension of machine?

[@tiffanyshyannejones2769]

It could be as simple as picking up your presser foot more often. On curves especially, I have to really pay attention so that my fabric doesn't get bunchy. I don't have a walking foot, but I think those are supposed to help.

[@TS-sh8xo]

I have had great success with my walking foot!

[@brazilianinbali]

Hi ! Great video! I saw that you have a fast pressing board.. thats a cool idea for small projects.. Do you already have a video of doing that? I have a regular folding pressing table but It's so heavy that i end up never using it 😂 regards

[@billettescrafts]

Maybe I’ll make a video

Do you have a shop in need pay your cloth pad you make.iam from Saudi Arabia

[@tasadasa9363]

Great video, as ever.👍 It’s sad, that you warn about the theme in the beginning.It should be normal as talking about breakfast. I’ m a human I breathe I’m a woman, I bleed. You want children? So deal with it! It’s normal.

[@billettescrafts]

I know right. Totally normal! You’d be amazed at the rude comments I’ve gotten before so sometimes I warn people 🤣

[@kyndrasharp6069]

I bleed in the front. Would I attach the flap in the middle still or at the front

[@billettescrafts]

Try one in the middle and one that goes towards the front

[@tasadasa9363]

That’s right, I thought about it.

[@helenchin1931]

Where do I get the heavy organic bomboo fleece, am from Nigeria

[@billettescrafts]

Etsy or amazon

[@coleneritchie5625]

Will this be strong enough for incontinence wetting?

[@billettescrafts]

The flow of blood is different than urine. For urine, I would use a wider and longer coverage and maybe more absorbency

[@joannaprzepiorkowska2337]

Wooow!!!

Hi I just found you and was wandering do you sell any ready made pads?

[@billettescrafts]

Not anymore, thx for reaching out though. Hopefully someday I will again

[@sandrasews3765]

Where can i find the pattern?

[@billettescrafts]

Versodile on etsy

[@kalekosteifreesolomons7271]

How can I do a order?

[@debrasonner5970]

Where do you get your fabric?

[@billettescrafts]

Everywhere ✌🏻

[@ozarkmountainwoodshopandfa9500]

Are you no longer making and selling your pads? 😪 Oh and what sewing machine do you use/recommend?

[@billettescrafts]

No I’m not, I know, I miss it. Let me link you to a good one

[@billettescrafts]

This is close to what i have and I love it www.amazon.com/dp/B008G1DJ9Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_t1_ijWcGbXA1SW99

[@mylaschorsch7516]

I am not liking some that I purchased. This flap is perfect to make the purchased ones better. Thank you!!

[@barhana3378]

Здравствуйте. Я не поняла, зачем нужна овальная деталь, пришитая к прокладке?

[@Фотомиг-в8ц]

Этот листочек предназначен принять пнрвый"плюх"чтобы не протечь.Кладётся между половых губ Его просто заменить на другой,свежиц листочек. Но всё это омнительно без хорошего простирывания и кипячения.

[@annak4314]

Здравствуйте, эта средняя деталь ловит большие, резкие количества жидкости и направляет её во внутрь прокладки, а не по сторонам. ( вкладывать промежь губ не обязательно, она сказала что некоторые так делают и их детали не пришиты и могут выпасть в унитаз..) Вы пробовали их шить?

[@ladyrachelleritchie8420]

This is a dumb question... Are you putting the pretty side against your body or undies?

[@billettescrafts]

Against you

[@KnittingFoole]

Not dumb, I wondered that too

[@Daughter_of_the_MostHigh]

now I need to learn how to use a sewing machine

[@billettescrafts]

Easy! Grab a 100 dollar one at Walmart. I am self taught too. So many great tutorials here on the tube to teach you 👏

[@ADRIANMARTINEZ-kb5os]

😮😮😮😮

[@hlmills2000]

Why would you want to place a core flap?

[@billettescrafts]

Catches the flow or heavy gush of fluid and draws it into the core of your pad
