Let me know if you have any questions about the hot/cold pack! Please do keep in mind that they used the prototype for the photos, so there are some tiny changes (like the number of channels for the flax seeds) from the finished instructions.
I really hope you like it!
i love the grey sewing notions fabric~
Looking forward to seeing both of these projects — I like the utilitarian ones
looking forward to seeing how these projects turn out! it’s been fun to see all the projects so far.
That sewing fabric is perfect. I’m intrigued by the other one…
I think the hot/cold pack could be enough to convince me to buy this book! It is beautiful and is a great way to use up some of my stash fabrics
Love the fabric choice. And the project is great!
I sewed several of these for Christmas gifts and everyone loved them! I keep meaning to make one for myself, but have yet to get around to it.
I LOVE sewing kits – looking forward to seeing this one made up!
Love the Sew Tossed Notions fabric!!!
All my favorite colors in that Sew Tossed Notions fabric! I want to make that!!
Hmm, a hot/cold pack AND attention from the designer? What could be better than that, except to make it up in that fantastic Jay Carroll print you selected? That is going to be fabulous!
love the fabric choices!!
Ooh, that hot/cold pack looks so chic!
I really like both of these, I know if you are going to make several of the hot cold packs, personally I get my Flax Seeds at a health food store, so I can buy bulk instead of by the small package in the grocery store.
Two things I could use. Can’t wait to see the finished products. Love the fabric selection.
What a fun project and practical for the older
back to use! Thanks.
I have been eying the sewing kit ever since I bought this book! I haven’t made it yet but I am going to! Over the weekend, my sister and I made 7 beside book organizers from the book! I love that pattern. It’s so easy and fast! Four of the five I made are going to be packaged with some books, book lights, water bottles and notepads/pens for charity auctions at my son’s school. They’re perfect gifts for young readers!
GREAT idea Keesia! Hope your auction fetches lots of moola!
I really enjoyed looking through your “one-yard” wonders. What fun ideas
Again, such perfect fabric choices! I love both of them! The sewing kit looks great! I’d like to make one for myself some time, so I’m looking forward to the review and the finished project!
I love both of those projects and I’m eager to see how they turn out in those fabrics.
The habitat birch fabric has a great east-asian feel—perfect for the Obi inspired hot/cold pack
these are very cute projects — the obi hot/cold pack would be very useful
my favorite jay mccarroll print and my favorite book! one yard wonders is the best! i am actually going to make a project from the book this week for our bedroom! so cute!

Sooooooooo great to see you at sew expo. Have you started any of your projects? I have not but will get organized soon…at least i hope to.
If you find the rabbit fabric will you remember me?
i hope to see you soon

OK, now I remember! Jeez, my brain is mush. I got the Louise Cutting Shapes jacket pattern out and the fabric to match. It’s so darn easy, I just have to make it! So good to see you!!! xoxo K
This sounds wonderfully easy, and wonderfully comforting to my pregnant, aching back! Can’t wait to try it!
Both fabulous gift ideas.
The hot and cold pack looks really nice, like I could use it right now.
I tried it on Barbara and thought about sneaking it home without Melissa seeing! I have lots of shoulder pain and LOVED how it tied on.
Love the colors! And the ideas in the book will have me giving homemade gifts for a long time. And a great way to decrease my collection of fabrics so I can buy more!
The fabric choice for the sewing kit was spot on!
