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.

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.

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 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??

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. :)

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

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 =)
