I have had a few requests for the Potato bag pattern that I sent to my SP. So here is a copy of the PM I sent to some of you. Maybe others may want it ias well?
******************* Oh and I have found another pattern on the web that is basically made the same way. It is quilted and has a potato applique on the front.

I made mine in a class. The instructor just told us what to do and she had the pieces cut out. I hate classes like that. I love cutting and all. I took it home and jotted the direction down. It's pretty simple. You can add your own design. I found the potato material on line. They also may have it at your LQS.
Potato Bag Directions:
Cut one 27" by 11" of each: Lining (muslin), cover and 100% Cotton Batting ( this contains no metal and metal and microwaves don't get along) :)
Lay teh cover and lining right sides together. Lay Batting over lining.
Sew around edges leaving 3" opening.
Turn and top stitch 1/4 " from edge. enclosing opening.
Fold up one short end about 11" and pin sides.
Fold down top flap and pin.
Sew sides together.
You're finished!
