These
pad making patterns are provided here for use by the home sewer to make
pads for themselves
These
patterns are for private home use only, and you cannot sell these patterns
or pads made from these patterns. If you do not agree to these terms,
do not download the patterns.
If you
wish to use these patterns for commercial purposes, contact me to discuss
this - obsidian@obsidianstar.net
The patterns
are all in .gif format (an image), and have a size indication on them in
cm and inches (a few only give cm).
If your
pattern isn't printing to scale then try adjusting your settings.
These are mostly in the one size, to edit the patterns, see the Drafting
link above.
(Some
are terrible quality, as they were originally scanned on coloured paper)
Newer
Patterns
* This
pattern was designed as a 2 part system. You make 2 copies of the
pattern, cut one out along the winged pad line, and the other just the
inside contoured bit. Trace the patterns onto your fabric but rather
than cutting on your traced line, cut roughly around this so that you sew
on that line. Full instructions on the website given. You can
also make this as an AIO pattern by ignoring the contoured part and just
using the winged shape.
** If
you put 2 snap settings on, the one wing can be worn with different width
pads. You could also make them and sew them to the under side of
a pad.
+ These
patterns include a "pocket end" which is an optional piece to use if you
wish to make a base + insert pad, where inserts
sit ontop of a base and tuck into pocket ends. Ignore this piece
if making an AIO pad. The longer pattern is broken in 2 pieces to
fit on the page, the extra part for this longer pad can also be used as
a pocket end if making a base+insert type of pad.
Winged G-String/Thong
Patterns
These
don't have seam allowance as they were designed for overlocking/serging.
Approx measurements.
Bigger
patterns
These
are longer and have wider wings.
Perhaps
best suited for underpants with a wider front and women who need coverage
at the front.
