Heat Pack Tutorial

As I make crochet bunnies for the babies when I am invited to a baby shower, I decided I should also make something for the mum to be.

Heat Pack Tutorial

Materials:
fabric
sewing machine
embroidery thread
scissors
sewing needle
wheat


Inner Bag: Cut the inner bag in the colour you wish (2 pieces of 16 x 24). Sew around the edges leaving a few inches open to add the wheat.


I added some lavender essential oil to the wheat & had it in a glass jar (I figured plastic might absorb the lavender). I used 12 quarter cup measures to fill the bag. Hand sew the edge closed.


Front: I used three different colours for the front. Fabric measurements left to right:
Leaves: 16 x 8
Orange: 16 x 6
Green: 16 x 16


Back: 16 x 23


Embroid a name if you like. I wrote the name last letter first so I would know how much room I would need at the end. Start 2cm up from the bottom & about 3cm from the right.
Attach the peices vertically to eachother.


Hem the left side (end) piece, as this will be on the outside of the bag.


Machine sew down both sides. This is what it will look like inside out.


Another inside out view.


Turn in in the right way & it should look like this.

You can make the pieces as large as you like. My mum thinks the back panel should go right to the end.

If you have any trouble sewing it together, just pull out a pillowcase to see how its sewn, it's the same design.

Please let me know if something could be explained better, this is my first tutorial.


I made this one for a friend using the above template.
