flax seed fiberfill
#12
Flax seed is also sold in our hot cereal aisle. I buy the organic & it's kept in the cooler at the smaller markets here. I have purchased both the ground & whole flax seed at Costco as well (I use it for making my granola & think it's kind of pricey to be putting into a bag that cheaper white rice will work in...but that's just me)

Yikes... I am such a dork.... our local organic health food store is called the Good Food Store.... let your fingers do the walking and call around for the buckwheat. I paid $2.30 a pound a few weeks ago and I use approx 2 pounds in each one. I just use 10 inch flannel squares and sew 3 sides and then part of the 4th, turn it right side out and fill the 'bag' approx 2/3 full. OH, AND DON'T LET THEM SELL YOU THE BUCKWHEAT HULLS..... NOT THE SAME THING....

I feed whole flax to my horses. :D At Tractor Supply it used to be $0.79 per lb, at Wegmans it was $2.00 per lb. It's more now. But for heat bags--try Tractor Supply. You have to ask for it at the horse feed/shavings counter. You can get it by the lb.

Just to let you all know I have a problem with ANY food product....just because it could bring moths or mice or who knows what else.....I used poly beads in my pin cushion ...but I would think maybe play sand or something like that
