Last night I foolishly managed to burn my faithful old wheat bag that Mama made for me. I was a bit too keen to get it really hot. Well I had just read "The Long Winter". And I'm a bit sick so my concentration isn't what it should be.
So that was the pursuader I needed to finally made a new wheat bag. Make that some new wheat bags. Well they were so quick to make.
I started with this crushed velveteen one. Made to be a bit wider and shorter than the old one, all the better for toe warming with a similar weight of grain.
Then I decided this was the perfect opportunity to use this delightful printed velveteen scrap.
Then I thought, the old one was the perfect shape for when my back is playing up. So I remade it, only in burgundy with some decorative stitching.
I know I don't need 3, but I do have houseguests sometimes! All the fabrics are cotton. I had to keep reminding myself to not use beads or sequins. These need to survive the microwave and fairly rough handling.
