Fabrics Available
I try to choose fabrics that are both fun and interesting. I buy only a few metres of material at a time, so the printed fabrics will change from time to time.  The current fabrics I have available are shown below.  Fabrics marked with * have only a tiny bit left.
 

Cottons
[Flannelette (Flannel)]|[Velveteen]|[Velour]|[Jersey]|[Sherpa]|[Pinwale Cord]|[Quilter's Cottons]

Bamboo & Hemp
[Bamboo Velour, Fleece, Terry & Jersey]|[Hemp Jersey]


 
Synthetics
[Polar & Micro fleece]|[Waterproofing - PUL]
Other Fabrics
[Lurex thread wovens]|[Brocade]

Please note that the fabrics may look slightly different in real life than they do in these photos due to differences in monitor and video card settings and performance.  The pictures of the pads will also give you an indication of their colours. Some staining may occur due to the nature of the pads use (although this should be eliminated by proper care for your pads), so if you are concerned about this please select fabrics with darker colours and no white/light areas.


 
Please note:  I've received several e-mails asking to buy fabric. I do not sell fabric.  This page is for customers to select the fabric they would like an item made up in.  If you've found this page from a search (eg google) and are looking for somewhere to buy fabric, I'm afraid you are in the wrong place.

Brushed cotton *

Brushed cotton is very similar in feel to flannelette but is slightly thicker



Cotton Velveteen
This is a fabric similar to velvet.  It is 100% cotton, with a thick luxurious feel.  Adds extra absorbency as well as feeling nice. 
It has a shorter pile than velour.  I chose velveteen because I wanted to give the option of darker colours, particularly black.

It's hard to get good pictures of the colours, they always come out dark - I think it has to do with the fibres of the fabric.  
The blue is a Navy, Green a deep one, Purple is a brightish deep and red is a deep blood red.


Velour
This is a fabric similar to velvet.  A higher pile than the Velveteen.  Cotton adds extra absorbency as well as feeling nice.
The Cotton Velour is 80% cotton and 20% polyester (The backing is polyester for durability and the pile is cotton).
The Bamboo Velour is 95% bamboo, 5% polyester (Again, poly adds durability)
Mauve Cotton
(Bluish purple)
Pale Pink Cotton
(very pale)

Bamboo & Sherpa
Sherpa is a hard to describe fabric, but it is a fleecy 80% cotton 20% poly fabric.. a bit like polarfleece crossed with lambswool (it's pile is sort of fluffy in the bumpy way lambswool is).  Nice and soft and adds absorbency.   I have some I hand dyed a mottled purpleish blue colour.

Bamboo Jersey is 100% bamboo.  Bamboo Velour is 95% bamboo, 5% poly.


Cotton Jersey
Cotton jersey is a t-shirt fabric.  It is less likely to pill than flannelette.  
Great for pocket pads as it has a stretch to make putting the inserts in a bit easier.
Navy Blue
Burgandy

*This feels like a cotton jersey, but I cannot be sure that it does not have any poly in it.


Hemp Jersey
Hemp is grown and processed using less chemicals to cotton, so may be a better choice for those with sensitive skin or who like the more eco friendly alternative. This is a 55% hemp, 45% cotton fabric.  The dyed hemp has been hand dyed by me, using procion fibre reactive dyes.
Hand dyed Hemp.
This has been hand dyed so there may be some slight colour variations (mottling).

Polar Fleece and Microfleece
Fleece is 100% synthetic, so it does not absorb liquids, it instead tends to allow them to pass through, or prevents them passing through.  
I know that sounds contradictory.  Microfleece is a thinner version of polarfleece.

Used on top - This creates a reasonably effective "stay-dry" feel to the pad.   The overall pad will be slightly thicker with this.  Resists staining, but can feel sweatier than natural fibres.
Used as backing - This creates a semi-waterproof (water-resistant) layer that helps stop the pad leaking right through.  Not as effective as PUL, but preferred by some for it's breathability.

Backing Prints (Cotton "Pinwale" Corduroy)
These are the non-slip backing layer I use on the hourglass pads.  It does make the pads slightly stiffer and thicker, so I generally avoid using it on winged pads, where its slip-resistance isn't needed.  It is very hard to find appropriate coloured fine corduroy,  so I don't have as many fabrics to choose from.   I generally choose the best colour match cord based on the colour of the pads.
