Yes, I planned to do an outer bag (the owl) and an inner bag (the corn). I was all set to do the rice bags when a friend saw this and sent me an article on the dangers of doing rice. It traps in mold spores and other allergens more than corn or cherry pits do, so instead, I'm going to buy the 50 pound bag of corn and the 40 pound bag of cherry pits and go from there. My youngest DD has severe environmental allergies, so I don't want to run the risk with her using rice bags, and I certainly don't want my new niece breathing in any of that stuff. So, tomorrow I'm going to buy the chamomile and other innards and go from there. I think I'm going to avoid the felt all together. I do have a scrap of wool felt, but not sure how I feel about all of this.
What would you think about ultra-suede? Would that be microwaveable?
