My MIL's birthday is tomorrow and every year it is a challenge to figure out what to give to her. As she has some lower back issues I thought about making her a heating pad that she can heat up in the microwave. I found an excellent tutorial from Abbie of
The Green Wife for a
Heating Pad Tutorial.
It finishes up at 18" x 7" and took me just about an hour to make.
Sure hope she likes it. Oh well, I'm making her a cake too so my chances are good that she'll be happy.
Ciao~

Lovely! I just made something similar this week - but for the freezer :)
ReplyOh, I like that one. She also will.
ReplyThe tutorial uses serging. Did you serge yours or skip that step? I'm doing spa-themed items for a silent auction basket and this would fit the bill, but I don't have a serger. Yours turned out great!

ReplySomething else to think about, that if these get used a lot they can get a little grungy, and they don't really wash, so a little custom pillow case or two might be a good addition.
ReplyLove this idea! Velcro would work very well as a closure.
I am sure she will love it.
ReplySandy H: I have a Janome and have a foot that does a fake serging stitch (doesn't cut the fabric). It is the 'C' foot.
So pretty, and I'm sure she will love it! What did you fill it with?
ReplyNothing like a hand-made gift! I'm sure she'll love it! Can't wait to hear about the cake too! ;-)
