Let me explain.

You know those almost fabric, soft, sort of decorative little packages some of the maxi pad companies started wrapping them in?

I don't know what they're made of, but they're strong, and they're soft, and it seems a pity to throw them away. But i can't figure out what to do with them.

Someone told me that they're meant to help you dispose of the used napkin, but i never do that, so i have these perfectly clean, unspoiled soft little pieces of wanna be fabric that i don't know what to do with.

Any ideas?

Check this thread out.....lots of ideas, experiences, and variations on this theme.... http://www.sufficientself.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=605

My first thought when I heard of this was :sick but as I continued googling and reading I had to try it.....being an avid sewer in my past, I got out my scraps of this and that and whipped up a few, and never looked back. I am ready for a new design, perfecting what works for me. Cloth pads are AWESOME. My research in this actually led me to this forum! So keep an open mind as you read....

sure, I am an artist, and have used them to put clay in so it doesnt get hard, also I use them to separate my post it notes they fit in each just perfectly and when I am at the comp I always am using them...you could also use them in scrap booking for holding little things on the pages...just some ideas
