Mama cloth: liners

This was a quick and therefore satisfying project. Made from scrap fabric, too - even better.
Three liners. The pattern is by Marnie of Noonee Wilga, who was kind enough to give me copies of her Star Pads patterns a couple of years ago.

The top and bottom layers are quilting cotton. The hidden soaker is a single layer of cotton drill. I have found that using stiffer wovens works well for cloth pads as it makes them less likely to scrunch and fold in on themselves. The liners I made in the past used 2 flannelette body layers and a bamboo soaker layer, which doesn't sound like a lot, but even that was too much, hence trying thinner cottons this time around.

As you can see, my topstitching needs practice.
