In Hot Water

Today I started a new project.

Emily’s not feeling too well today. She often has cold legs and feet, and when she is sick they can be ice cold. We put a hot water bottle at the bottom of the bed by her feet. But we don’t want the bottle to touch her feet so we will wrap it in a blanket. The other day I had a grand idea. What about making hot water bottle wrap or bag?

So here’s what I came up with. I made the rose one first and then found it was a little difficult to fold the bottle tight enough to get it into and out of the bag.

So with the second one I left most of the top open and put straps and a button on it to hold the bottle into the bag.

I enjoyed this project and it was very easy to sew.

Until next time. Thanks for listening ~

Pretty! If you don't want the bother of buttons, you could heave to top part open, then sew it shut once the bottle was already in place perhaps?

I need to be able to wash the cover. Not that her feet are dirty, but occasionally things are spilled in her bed. I just wanted it easy for anyone to remove. The button part wasn't difficult.

What a grand thing. You can make one for every season of the year.
