Does anyone else use these. They stayed warm a while too, surprised me.
I need one of those quilting things that we wear and it has a
"weighted" bag for our posture. I tend to bend while I sew . Looking forward to more ideas on what we can us to sew longer with less stiffness and aches and pains.

I am new at this and tried to send pictires of a bandana made into a pain relief for shoulders. Just fold one corner of bandana down, fold again to make about 4" pocket. Sew all but one end. Fill with 1/2 C. rice, sew across, fill second section with 1/2 C. rice, sew across and finish third section with rice. Close end. Attach ties about 8 inches long (any material scraps). Microwave 1 minute and tie across shoulders and back of neck. This spells relief!!

Long before I learned to quilt I decided to make 50 warmers very quickly for gifts. I found knee high athletic white socks for $1.00 a pair. Went to feed store to purchase large bag of deer corn. One lady used funnel to put the corn in the sock, while another person sewed across the top of the sock. Took 25 pair to make 50.
Later when making prettier warmers I used a decorative pair of socks. One as described above & pulled the other sock over the stitched end, tied with a pretty ribbon. The outer cover then was easy to throw into the wash to keep a clean fresh look!
