I used 4 ply worsted Sugar and Cream cotton Multi color (can make two pads with 3 oz.)
I used in expensive Tulle 13 and 1/2 ft by 1inch
I used elastic 12 inchs of 3/4 inch wide
This pattern takes very little time to work up and then you will be free to spend all the extra money on things other than disposable refill pads!
