I don't have a serger and my machine will only strait stitch

So how do you all sew yours? Do you have a pattern? Do you use hemp or flannel? What do you use for a waterproof layer if you use one? I don't really want to buy fabric online-seems to expensive to me, so does anyone know if Jo-Ann's or Hancock's has any workable waterproof material? Tell me all about it!!

Thanks!

I'm just bumping this up to the top because I came on here to post basically the same thing--Without a serger, how do you sew mama cloth?

Thanks!

ETA that I found this website http://www.geocities.com/mytafadhali/mommypads.htm

and am now wondering about what fabrics to use--I have heard that flannel pills and isnt all the soft after a while. And what is a good absorbent fabric?

Thanks--and I hope that you dont mind me piggybacking off of your post!

you don't need a serger to make mama pads...you can turn and topstitch them since you don't a zig-zag. i used a quilted crib sized matress pad for my waterproof layer. i used scrap flannel for the rest of it. i made up my own pattern.
