A friend at work wanted me to make her some rice bags.
I made 2 for her and 1 for me.
The first picture is the rice bag and the second picture is the covers
i make to go on them. I like to be able to wash the cover when i want to.

I like your bright, happy fabrics! Little things like this are always fun to make & share.

They look great!!

I love rice bags. They came in handy these past few weeks for pain relief. I keep three in the freezer and a couple in the drawer to heat in the microwave.


The ones in the freezer are shaped like a "U" to wear on the neck and shoulder area. They work great to reduce a fever or cooling off on a hot day.

i make corn bags i sure love them !!!

Neat idea to make a cover.

great fabrics, love the brightness of them.

We call them Ache Brakies

Never thought of making washable covers. Thanks for sharing.

Using flax seeds also make wonderful bags. The smaller seeds conform so gently to the curves of a hurting body or if your just plain cold. A good warmer upper. All you need to do is double seam so the little seeds don't escape. And they smell so nice! Sort of a nutty scent. My family has called the Flax Babies for years and years now.
