I was lucky enough to be chosen to “test” the Sweet Caroline Under wraps (could not find a link to the pattern now) pad pattern in the 10 inch and 11 inch sizes. Let me just say that the initial printing process was excruciating!!!! The owner had to re-size the PDF file and have us try numerous times before anyone could successfully print the full pattern (around 3 or 4 hours) but it was a pretty easy to follow design with sufficient instructions with pictures!
I will say now that the pattern had quite a long wingspan which made the pad fit rather loosely and shift around. I tweaked the pattern after the first pad I made by narrowing the “gusset” and shortening the wings as well as making the wings squared off instead of rounded. I have revised the pattern and added a couple more sizes to this for my own use.
I do love how the pads made with this pattern appear difficult but they are truly simple to construct. These could be made with which ever materials you wish velvet, minky, flannel, cotton; etc. The instructions that accompany the pattern is written well and can easily be understood.
That being said I would willingly purchase this pattern if I needed it.
The above is the original pad I made using this tutorial.
This is the pad from after I revised pattern.
