Restocking

Sewing, sewing, sewing!
It has been a lot of fun restocking. My sewing basket has been stuffed since we came back from vacation, and not from lack of sewing. Adam has been helping me cut and has taken over the job of photography and edits. This means I have more time to sew and build up stock. This month has been a little slow with the shop having been closed for several days for our vacation. It has been kind of nice though because the shop was nearly empty after the Spring Cleaning Sale. The first week was al about getting the new bamboo pads listed and now that most of them are up I am working on restocking the heavy pads, since they keep selling almost completely out. I am happy I was able to get in some tissues and nursing pads too. Tonight we will be at it together again sewing and photoing so there will be more new listings all week!

Bring in the New

Last week was the big break and we spent 2 days straight redoing our shop. Now that the shop has new photos and graphics it looks fantastic! Here is what our shop looked like before:
The photo backgrounds were different variations of white and gray and the photos were very random.

And look at it now!
All the product backgrounds are now a nice crisp white and each product section is very uniform, making it easy to find just what you are looking for.
Another new thing you will notice in the shop now is that the selection of items has been narrowed down to all the best sellers. We now only carry Pads, nursing pads, mazes, tissues, and bows. We will still happily take custom orders for the other items we have carried in the past, but by reducing the different types of items we carry it makes it easier for us to keep the most popular ones in stock.

Heavy Peanut Pads

Our Heavy Absorbency Pads are great for heavy flow days. They are a little thicker than the medium absorb pads but are still soft, fluffy, and ultra comfy. They breathe while still giving me the protection I need. No more moisture lock and irritation from plastic lined disposable pads. They are made with 2 layers of cotton flannel, a layer of super absorbent Zorb, and a layer of fleece on the bottom to help with grip. Stitching down the side of the pad keep your flow focused on the center of the pad and helps the pad to conform to your body's shape. The fleece keeps your pad from sliding around even with it's wingless design! Peanut Pads are environmentally friendly and come in super fun prints!

The edges are cut with a pinking shears and will fray. This leaves less bulk than sewing the edges under and makes them more comfortable as well as helping to conform to your body. All our products are made in a smoke free home. Our fabrics are pre-washed before sewing.

Here is what our customers have to say:
"I am very pleased with my peanut liners and pad. The bottom fabric really does keep it in place all day, the top fabric is absorbent and dry. Very thin for an everyday panty coverage. Plus the seller is really easy to get in touch with, I will return!"
"So happy with purchase!! Very fast shipping!! Product is top quality!!"
Peanut Pads come in 2 lengths:The Short pad is roughly 10 inches long, 3.5 inches across at the widest point and 2.75 inches across the narrowest point.
The Long Pad is roughly 12 inches long, 3.75 inches across at the widest point and 3 inches across the narrowest point.
In 1 spot absorbency testing the heavy absorb pads held a whopping 2 Tablespoons (or 1 oz, or 6t) of water.
