Leave a seam allowance for yourself (about 1/2″).
Some prefer regular square shape bags, others prefer tubes or more rectangular shapes.

These are awesome. And if you want to you the tube sock method.... You could have them all done in about 10 minutes .
We really do love ours.

So THAT'S how they do it! lol
My sister bought us one a number of years ago that was more like a 'tube' shape. It was to wrap around a neck to warm sore necks and shoulders.
I'm so glad you shared how they're made. Hmm... I have some unused flannel....
Thanks for posting! I'm going to be making some of these!

I bought my hubby one several years ago too!
He is a general contractor so I am never without an ample supply of anointing oil, ben-gay and Microwavable heating pads. If you google them there are hundreds of directions to make them. They are wonderful.

Watch out, once I began making them for hubby, and he began sharing how wonderful they were. Well, lets just say I do not think there is a family member in our large family that does not have one or two.
Hugs, Ella
I used to have one of these that a friend made! Now I can make me one!
Hi Beth ~~
These are great to have around and make wonderful gifts too!
Blessings, Ella
