What can you use PUL for?

Not all fabrics are created equal, and if you've sewn with our PUL, and pretty much ANY other PUL, you'll know what I mean!

THE

BEST

sews like butter

prints so vibrantly

perfect amount of stretch and recovery

We love Microtex needles and teflon or walking feet on our machines for ease of use!

There are SO many things you can make other than nappies! Check out this collection of makes that you can use PUL for!

Nappies of course!

We are big lovers of reusable modern cloth nappies. They have always been a big part of the heart of our business. We sell all the bits you need to make them and love the patterns from Elsie & D, Happy Hippo Patterns and My Little Sunshine

Gift bags

Have a read of our tutorial on making draw string bags to make some of these up to save yourself buying/wasting paper!

Bibs

PUL adds a great water resistant layer. You can keep it on the top, or flip it so you still protect clothes but have an absorbent layer to soak up slobber and juices - both options work great. Unleash the bows have some great bib patterns.

Pouches/Wetbags

These bags are very handy. You can keep medications, snacks, swimwear, make up..... the list goes on. We love the patterns from Elsie & D.

Reusable Sandwich Bags

An easy project to whip up! Something to save you zip lock bags. Seal with elastic, hook & loop or snaps!

Nappy pod / travel bag

Another Elsie & D pattern we love, Unleash the Bows has some options too!

Lunch Bag

Lining some canvas with PUL (or 2 layers of PUL with some interfacing between) gives you a great, water resistant and versatile lunch bag.

Cutlery/Strawer Pouches

Another winning scrap buster. Yoou can make them with very basic measurements or use a pattern like this one from Elsie & D

Cutlery pouches by Hayley Cutlery pouches by Yondette

Toy box lid cover (or to cover dining chairs from grubby hands!)

This is a great way to protect and dress up your furniture. Make them to perfectly fit your furniture and save a small fortune on cleaning products.

Little slippers/shoes

These are a great scrap buster! How gorgeous are these?

We recommend the Wayfarer slippers from Twig & Tale.

Nappy change mats

You can make these to any dimension you like. PUL both sides or add a soft Cotton Lycra, Minky or Terry backing. We love the look of this pattern from Common Stitch. Unleash the bows have some simple patterns as well as a Change Pod which we love!

Scrunchies!

Such an easy project to make! We have written a tutorial to help you out!

Earrings and fabric covered buttons

A quick and easy DIY project! We sell self cover button sets r you can buy kits to make earrings, magnets and other accessories online too!

Art/Food Smocks

Keeping your kid and their clothes clean is something all parents struggle to do. Whether it's food, drinks or crafting and art, PUL will help protect what's underneath! Elsie & D have a great pattern for an Art Smock, as well as many tutorials online!

Shower Caps/Bowl covers

Both made in similar ways! A great way to keep your hair dry in the shower, or cover a bowl of food to keep it fresh! Unleash the bows have a great pattern (and it's only $1!)
