How to make a Rice Bag

Pin It
Christmas in July with
The Quilt Ladies
Rice Bag

This is one of the things you think you will NEVER need or want  ! ! 
I need it and I want it. 
Make one for everyone and for yourself. 

It's simple white non-cooked rice in a bag, warm it in the Microwave and you have a heating pad. I use it all year around.


I like to use Flannel, but cotton and fleece work too
Cut  8 Flannel Squares - 2 7/8" x 2 7/8"
Cut 2 Cotton Squares 2 7/8' x 2 7/8"

Make Triangles - How to HERE

Top Stitch 1/4" around sides, and bottom.

Fill bag with rice. (I use the cheapest I can find)

I put 6 Cuts of White right in mine (try it and add what you like)


Turn in the top edge and pin and top stitch across the top.
Mine is turned in about 2 inches. I like it firm.

Sew one to each side


Press the edge under and fold over, press.

Top Stitch both sides.

Fold one of the edges, right side to right side over to the center of the patchwork.


Fold the other edge over 1 1/4" and sew both of the sides closed.


Turn bag right side out.


Fill Flannel bag with Rice Bag


You can add a Velcro here to hold closed, BUT I leave it open,
so my foot can get inside of it in.... NOTHING better.
