Cloth Menstrual Pad Tip

During a recent visit to dollarama I noticed some hanging dryers with clips and I immediately thought that these would be great for hang drying my pads.

This hanging dryer can be used to dry cloth pads both indoors during winter or when raining, etc, or outdoors in the sun.

Sponsor Spotlight: Wazoodle

My search for absorbent fabrics for the core of my handmade cloth menstrual pads led me to a wonderful textile store, Wazoodle. Wazoodle.com is a huge online retailer, based in New Jersey, USA, and they sell all diaper making (or non diaper making) fabrics and supplies, like

I immediately placed an order for a super absorbent fabric called Zorb that they sell. I now will be using zorb as the absorbent core for all my cloth menstrual pads.

What is Zorb?
Zorb contains only tangled cellulose fibers from bamboo/cotton/viscose and poly micro fiber, the same fibers found in virtually every AIO diaper on the market – nothing else. These non-allergenic fibers are non-allergenic, durable and easy to sanitize. Zorb absorbs 10x its weight in less than half a second — that’s 20x faster than cotton, bamboo or hemp. Zorb has incredible holding power too, a single layer holds up to 3 times the moisture of the best absorbing knits. It is extremely fast at moving moisture around.

I am super excited about using zorb as my new absorbant layer for all my handmade cloth mentrual pads. I have tried and tested the material it seems to me a ‘miracle absorbant cloth’, and I thank the poeple at wazoodle for making it!

Please visit them and show them some love!

Ruffled Front Messenger Diaper Bag

I love working diaper bags. A few days back I made this gorgeous diaper bag with ruffles on the front: a double ruffle in the center and a single ruffle on either side of it on the front of the bag, with pockets and lots of room for storage.

I am very happy with how the bag turned out.

Bag Features:
— 100% cotton fabric used throughout
— double or triple stitched throughout to make it very sturdy, and fully interfaced for added structure, yet lightweight
— adjustable messenger strap with high quality metal hardware, for across your body or over your shoulder wear
— padded strap for comfort
— YKK zipper top closure
— total of 9 generous fully lined pockets: 4 exterior pockets (2 of which are elasticized for larger bottles); 1 YKK zipper pocket in flap; 4 generous interior pockets (all elastic)
— magnetic snap closure assures the flap stays in place
— snap strap to attach your keys
— bag opens wide for easy access to all your items inside
— approximate dimensions: 13.25” wide x 11.25 ” tall x 5.5″ deep

I think I am now addicted to making diaper bags. And I am planning on making more diaper bags and stocking my etsy shop with some ready to ship bags in the coming months. Stay tuned! 🙂

Sponsor Spotlight: Haeare Design

Today I would like to introduce you all to a new fabric brand called as the Haeare Design (“hae(偕), which means ‘to gather’” and “rae(來), which means ‘to come.’” So “Haerae” means “to come together”). I am in awe and drooling over the Haerae Design’s Aztec collection designed by Lady Leia.

Established by Daniel Ahn in 2014, Haerae Design works with talented designers from all over the world to create unique and original fabric patterns. And indeed when you look at their new Aztec collection designed by Lady Lei, I am sure you will all be mesmerized, just like I am. Have a look:

The Aztec collection designed by Lady Lei was inspired by the dynamic atmosphere of Aztec civilization. The bright colors and geometric patterns are a treat to the eye and will transport you to a different era.

I LOVE all their fabrics and cant wait for their upcoming second collection – From Space To Earth. Please do visit them and show them some love!

New Products for Mama Cloth Pad Users in my Shop: Small Hanging Wet bags, & Mini Wet/Dry Bags with Snap Strap

I have an exciting news to share with you all today! I have introduced two new items to my shop that mama cloth pad users will find very useful.

1. Small Hanging Zippered Wetbag With Two Snap Handles:
These gorgeous small zippered hanging wetbags feature two snap handles so that you can hang the bag from anywhere you want, your stroller bar, or toilet roll in the bathroom, etc. Zippered top seals in all the smells!

Details of the bag:
~ 100% cotton exterior fabric
~ waterproof barrier fabric lining
~ Top quality water-resistant YKK zipper
~ 9.50″ x 9.25″
~ two snap handles made with heavy duty nylon webbing
~ lining and outer fabric are sewn separately to help prevent wicking through the seams. Also, there is an extra row of stitching along the top of the lining to prevent it from getting snagged in the zipper.

Use these bags to collect mama cloth pads, family cloth, lingerie, napkins, make-up cloths etc! A must have in any earth friendly room.

Care is simple – wash with your regular laundry. Hang to dry.

Currently I have the bag available in a gorgeous bubble dots in navy background print. But I have more prints in stock and upon request I can make them in any print you like. Please comment for details.

2. Zippered Wet/ Dry Bag with Snap Handle – Dual – Waterproof – Travel
Sophisticated and compact! These stylish water proof bags feature a large pocket to carry your small wet items, as well as features a front dry pocket to carry clean items. They are a perfect size to throw in your bag or purse. Great for either cloth or disposable diapers and wipes. Keep smells and moisture in.

DETAILS:
~ large pocket lined with waterproof nylon & has YKK zipper closure
~ small pocket is lined and has a snap closure
~ lining and outer fabric are sewn separately to help prevent wicking through the seams. Also, there is an extra row of stitching along the top of the lining to prevent it from getting snagged in the zipper.
~ dimensions: 10.25″ x 6.25″
~ features a strap that snaps shut allowing you to hang the bag

The bag is small enough to hide in your purse but large enough to hold several pads (shown in second picture are a few folded pads that you can purchase from my shop). It would also function well to hold make-up, wipes or a few disposable diapers, cloth wipes, swim gear, gym gear, beach items, bibs and more

Care – wash with your regular laundry. Hang to dry.

Everything is handmade with love in Canada in a smoke and pet-free environment.
