Sewing : Made my first creation!

I'll call it a piddle pad!

Dd2 is out of nappies now (just) and is fairly reliable. Tomorrow we need to go grocery shopping, so it's her first outing in knickers! I needed something to go under her 'just in case'.

So I remember I had some water proof sheets, but they are HUGE. So I cut them down, cut up some old towels & put them together. The towel, I figure will hold more liquid than just the waterproof stuff (they are covered in thin fabric, but not enough to catch much).

I am planning on sitting her on them in the car seat/trolley etc. It isn't far, but I won't have access to a toilet. Although she does seem to have great bladder control

Very proud of my first creation. Albeit very rough, it will do the job!

Excellent upcycling Smile Hope all went well

Great idea, I bought something along those lines. Much better, cheaper and more environmentally friendly to make your own out of old stuff!

Thanks Ladies. However, am a tad disappointed....we went on our first tri out today, in knickers & she stayed dry....so didn't have a chance to put it to the test!

Never mind, still dead proud of my first creation!
