Rice Bags
Rice Bags
>Take a 10" square piece of cotton material ( cotton only! ), fold it in
>half (right sides together), and sew one short end and up
>the long side. Use a scant 1/2" SA. Turn rightside out. This makes a
>little sack to which you add 12oz. (about 1 3/4 cups)
>uncooked long grain white rice. NO converted, brown or "minute" rice
>PLEASE! Now turn in the SA on the remaining open
>end and finish with sewing across it, locking your stitches so the rice
>can't get out.
>
>Are you still with me??
>
>Take another cotton square cut a little bigger, say 10 1/2" X 11 1/2".
>This is going to be the little pillowcase to put the rice bag
>in. I used a plaid cotton flannel. Sew up this piece like you did the
>sack only finish off the open end like on a pillowcase on your
>bed. This will be what can get washed if it gets soiled. DON'T WASH THE
>RICE BAG!!
>
>Now put your rice bag in the microwave oven, set on HIGH and time for 1
>1/2 to 2 min. You be the judge at how hot you
>want it to be and this is why it all needs to be cotton.
>
>Presto!!!! warm moist heat to sooth away those achy bones and muscles,
>esp in the neck from bending over the sewing
>machine or quilt frame to long. It's been my foot warmer these cold
>nights. I'm sure you can think of many more uses.
>headaches, earaches, etc.
