Book Blitz

Homemade Nursing Pad

Nothing is more embarrassing than walking around in public with wet spots on your shirt from milk.  Instead of buying nursing pads that you throw away, save money and make your own.  When you sew your own you can use any color and style that you wish, not just boring white.

Materials:

•    Flannel fabric

•    Pinking Shears

•    Matching Thread

•    Sewing machine or needle to hand sew

 

Directions:

Using the pattern as a guide, cut out two circles with pinking shears.  With wrong sides together sew a straight line down the center of circle {see example}.  Sew a seam vertical across the circle {see example}.   Finish by sewing around the circle.  It’s finished and ready to wash and wear.

Flannel is more absorbable than other fabrics so it’s ideal to make your nursing pads from.
