Another reason to leave disposable stuff in the dust...


Three words...Organic Bamboo Velour. Saying the word makes me happy and just typing it out brought an eerily wicked smile to my face. It just sounds SOOO indulgent and decadent. I made these breastpads because the disposable ones stuck to me and hurt when I had to tear them off. Ouch! These are organic bamboo velour on the inside, bamboo fleece in the middle, and wool interlock on the back. I dyed the wool interlock myself because I wanted colored breastpads. I know what you are thinking...'can't they be seen through your bra???' Nope! I checked! :) Oh, by the way, I cannot take credit for the pattern for these or anything...I found the tutorial here... http://www.pamperedcheeks.com/nursing_pads_pattern.htm . It really is a great way to use up any extra scraps you have of expensive material and the tutorial was VERY easy to follow! I highly recommend it. I haven't tried the pads yet as G is still not here but I will keep everyone informed!

They look wonderful! I just found an OBV nursing pad that had been tucked away (clean) in a rarely-used drawer and it is sooooo soft! I didn't remember how silky OBV is.
