Guest guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 I have been making heat bags for years, and fill them with wheat. I use corduroy for the bag and use a pillow slip as a size guide. Fold it in half long ways and sew up 2 sides, turn it in the right way and fill it with just about 1 kilo of wheat, then sew up the remaining side. I then sew along the open side and zip around the whole bag once again - I think this is a French seam? Anyways, I love using the cord to make my bags, as it seems to keep the heat in better . I have made many of these and once had the onerous task of making 50 for a rest home. They were not allowed to use hot water bottles in case the patients decided to undo them. I guess the wheat would be very similar to rice, just another idea. Jeanine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
