I love these bags and use mine a lot. To keep them in place on your back or arm, you can sew straps into the side seams with velcro on the ends to secure them.
|
When you have any aches or pains, I KNOW it feels so great with heat, but the advice from all doctors is ICE. Should we make pretty ICE bags? Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr, but it works!!!!
|
I have several of these. I take one to bed with me in order to warm my feet at night. I also have one that goes over my head and warms my shoulders. Love them.
|
The bags can be put in the freezer when you need a cold pack. Just slip it into a plastic bag first.
|
They used to use these on the mother/baby floor at the hospital. Until someone got burnt ( BE CAREFUL !!!!!).
They used a tube sock. I have a grandson as a baby had alot of tummy problems, so i made one for him out of rice. would put it on my lap then lay a towel over it then lay him over it with his tummy down. It helped it alot. |
You can make the neck bags as well. Just google to find the pattern. Remember to add extra for the seam allowance. The one I found on line a while back was too small so I added extra for the seam allowance. Fit like a glove.

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. Blessings, Angela |
My friend has one shaped like a cat but she complains that it is too small so I have to make a longer one for her. The body is a rectangle, made with a couple of prints. Small rectangles are the four paws and tail. The head is a circle,stuffed and sewn on,with added ears and embroidered features. I plan to use rice in the body. I was wondering how to avoid a fire in the microwave and a removable rice sack sounds like a good idea!

I have used these forever it seems. Now my chiropractor says do not use heat.........use ice. But, the heat feels soooo good!
|
Wow, thanks ladies! I made long rice bags to place on the quilt top when I have "extra" fabric that needs quilting out, but I had NO IDEA I could heat it and use it for sore muscles! My husband has neck problems and I am going to make him one TODAY! Thank you so very much!
