This weekend, I pulled out my sewing machine, and while I was worried I'd somehow forgotten the basics, after nearly eight years, I managed to not kill my fingers with the needle. Also, I'd forgotten how much I love spinning bobbins. Weird, I know.
Anyway, as my quick "remember what you're doing" project I pulled some scrap fabric out and made a pair of heating/cooling pads.
Step 1: Line up your fabric.
Best to have 2 layers of fabric imo
Step 2: Sew
Leaving a hole through which to pour your rice, swe up three sides completely and most of the fourth.
Step 3: Invert
Pulling the pouch you've made through the hole so your innards are where they're supposed to be.
Step 4: Fill with Rice
I used a rolled up paper tube to get the rice in, but if you have a funnel, that would work better.
Step 5: Sew up Filling Hole
Hand stitch up the hole and you're done.
Then all you need is a quick 30 seconds- to one minute in the microwave, or 15 minutes in the freezer and you're good to go!
***I'm kind of in love with how (when combined) my scrap fabric totally looks like the pile's from the seventies. Though, to be fair, the brown, peach and gold paisley was left over from a costume I made for the Jazz Choir's Abba Medelly in High School.***
