Yep, im gonna be that person that fills the forum with questions!!!!

Where have you purchased your favourite pouch cover from? (preferably Canada)

I love the coloplast sensura mio pouch but sadly its just not for me!

I use a hollister two piece and the pouch just looks so blah I'd like to cover it up.

I'd like to hear what others have to say, but my favorite pouch covers are the ones from PrettyLittleCurls (Etsy store). 

I did a review of them a while back, and since then they've added more patterns: https://www.veganostomy.ca/prettylittlecurls-ostomy-pouch-covers-review/

They are closed pouch covers.

If you want open bottomed covers for drainable bags, then Grandma's Hands makes them (they are in Ontario): https://www.veganostomy.ca/grandmas-hands-ostomy-pouch-cover-review/

Fun fact: Grandma's Hands started making the open bottom covers after I requested a custom one =)

I have made my own covers as I didn't find any over here in 🇦🇺, think I have ended up with 25 to 30 covers for both types of pouches (maxi,midi)

Wow! How long did it take to make that many??

YES! I busted out the sewing machine last night and made two. I didn't see anything I really like online and shipping costs were silly. 

 

Once you figure out the flange opening they take no time at all.

Are you using just 100% cotton or do you have a preference for another fabric?

Well, I didn't make them all at the same time but I think I got down to about 10 minutes from start to finish for one cover. :)

Omg i know the posting costs are crazy at the time I was looking I couldn't find any from Australia and the one that kept coming up is based in the UK so jumped onto the sewing machine done a couple of test ones, fixed a couple of things here and there and I have a design I like :)

I am lucky to have a friend that made me quite a few in varying sizes. I had some nice soft flannel left over from making toddler pj's and she used that. Now I have pink bears, yellow bunnies and blue birds all over my bag.
