    Talking ~8 Purple Pads~

    ~I was cleaning out for the Fall Fling and decided to toss some old washcloths that have been in daily service in the kitchen for 4 years. Then I remembered a pair of nylon shorts I'd saved to make pads with. I dug that and a purple t-shirt out of my 'recycle' bin and got to work. After 2 hours and 15 minutes I got these. They're the nicest looking ones I've made so far.~

    If I still needed to use pads, I would try the homemade ones. Better for your personal economy and for the environment.

    WTG! If I still needed pads I would make my own as well. Good for you for being so resourceful

    I have 3 hm pads and they are so comortable. I have some cut out, I just need to finish them.
    I glad to hear you are re-fashioning some things you no longer need into new useful stuff. Three cheers for Constance!!
