I made these for some last min holiday gifts.

Very nice, I can feel the softness of it!

Oh how neat ! Look so soft and snuggly too :mrgreen: Want my addy ???? LOL

what did you use for the filling?

what do you fill your pillow packs with? I need to make me one...the one I have (bought online) is wearing out.

I could sure use one of them right now. :lol:

I love that minky cover! Pretty and it will keep the rice warm longer too :D:D:D

Did you follow a pattern or make your own? I've tried two different patterns and wasn't happy with them. I really like the cover you show. I'm trying to get 10 of these done before Xmas.

Frugal - I'm using extra clean dear corn from Academy Sports (walmart & other places have it too). 40lbs for $6.

Thank you for the info - I'll have to go check it out - I've never heard of dear corn. ok.

I saw patterns online,and figured I could wing it.

I sewed 4 minky strips 3 in long, cut 15 in, then attached another block of 4 to the first.

I stuffed some with rice and peppermint oil, buckwheat and almond oil, and some with flax that was run thru a dehydrator to remove oils before stuffing.

I lined the inside with kona scrap, and then made the pillowcase end. There is a small strip of velcro on the inside, and you heat the rice/buckwheat for 2 min and the flax for about 1.5 min.
