No matter how great our posture is or how often we stretch, sometimes our bodies just need a little warm healing. This flaxseed heat pack is a quick project. It's great to pop in the microwave for a minute or two and then wrap it around the body part of choice. These make a great gift, all you need is:

approximately .25 m COTTON fabric, including denim, upholstery fabrics. Just decide on the width you want your wrap to be, and double it, adding .5inch for one side seam allowance. If using yardage, you can get two wraps from a standard 43-inch wide fabric. A fat quarter yields one 5 to 8-inch wide by 21-inch long wrap. Orphaned quilt blocks work as well, just add fabric to sides to increase size. Back the block to be sure flax seed doesn't escape!
ribbon for looped end
whole flaxseed, app. 2 lbs per wrap

Self-care is not Selfish. Make one for yourself and one for a friend. Save $$ on postage and mail it empty, maybe inclufde a needle and thread and have the recipient fill when they get it.

Place fabric right side up. Pin looped ribbon on either side of the top half of fabric, ( loops are on the inside, but they will end up on the outside.) Secure in place with a double stitch, using a shorter stitch length.
Fabric - 10 plus inch high by appr. 22 inches wide, size can vary.
Ribbon - pproxiamately
eight inches in length.

Fold fabric in half, with right sides together. Double stitch a .5inch seam across one end (with ribbon tucked inside) and down the long open side.

Optional: Before adding filling, turn tube right side out. Sew two rows through all layers, starting from bottom to approxiamately one inch from the top. This keeps the filling evenly dispersed.

You can add dried lavendar or essential oils to your filling. Peppermint oil can help with headaches , but relaxing lavendar is my go to!

With right sides out, fill tube with 2 - 3 cups (approx. 2 pounds) of whole flaxseeds. Other fillings include long grained rice, and barley.

*Divide filling in half and stitch through the middle of the finished bag. Filling will disperse more evenly.
*If you did not add channels.

Flaxseed wraps can be used warmed or cool. Microwave in one minute intervals to avoid overheating; lightly shake wrap to disperse any hotspots. If using for cold thersaoy, store wrsap in freezer in a plastic bag to avoid contaminating with food odours..
