Thread: What IS PUL fabric and how easy is it to use?

I used it to make changing pads for grandchildren. MarleneC

I made my daughter a beach quilt used PUL for the backing and made corner pockets with the PUL also to put sand in the weigh down the quilt wish I could figure out how to post pictures, it turned out cute for a beginner. She loves polka dots so thats what it mostly is & I made a lined beach bag to match it.

Great idea!

I used PUL for a changing pad that my son could keep in his car for when the babies are with him--flames on the outside. Check Walmart--I found it for about 1/2 the price as JF. (not as many prints)
I've also used for bibs and works great

I used it recently for a diaper changing pad plus a pouch that could hold wet clothes. I bought mine at Joann's. A little tricky to sew on the plastic side; I had to put the walking foot on. Teflon foot would probably work too but I don't have one.

It's really not a bad texture. Much more skin friendly than laminated cottons (won't stick to you). One side is more plasticky, the other side is a soft knit, but even the plasticky side isn't too bad.

After I washed my pouch I filled it with water to test how waterproof it was...it held water like a jug. I was surprised, I expected some seepage but it held water as long as I was willing to stand there holding it (it was probably about a half-gallon of water in there...my arm got tired!). So the Joann's kind must be the kind that seals up in the washer/dryer.

Had never heard of it until now, but it sounds interesting and I plan to try it soon for sandwich bags and gift items.
