Sewing fun!

My neck has been bothering me lately so I decided to make a neck warmer. After scouring the net a bit I found this pattern here-

So I thought I'd give it a try. What I liked about it was that I had everything around the house already!

For the outside casing I used some fabric I'd bought from Spotlight, the inner pouch was an old sheet and I used rice for the filling.

I made mine 75cms long and 10cm wide (plus seam allowance) because I was after a tube to wrap around my neck. Each pocket took about a 1/2 cup of rice.

I'm really happy with how it turned out and will post pics as oon as I find my camera.
