Wheat Bags

I have wheat!!! A company called Fengrain in Cambs has kindly offered to donate enough wheat for 60 wheat bags. I have the heating instructions from a shop manufactured one. 250g of wheat will go into 60 x 16*14cm cotton pounches, with a loose fleece or brushed cotton cover slip. Does this meet the requirements, and shall I get the kettle on ready for a mamoth sewing session? Should be able to take them (or most with me in March. Whoop Whoop. TD xx

re: Wheat Bags

is this the right kind of wheat? some wheat turns into potcorn if you micro it.

re: Wheat Bags

Well done TD. If i could sew i'd help

re: Wheat Bags

This is just normal feed grade wheat. But I shall try in the microwave first now. I'm worried now! - I might end up with the fattest pidgeons in Corby!!

re: Wheat Bags

If it's the right stuff happy days! If it's pop corn happy days

Debbie - Sewing is hard work - I'm sure you could help with teas and biscuits xx

re: Wheat Bags

If it's feed grade it is the right stuff. My wife has made several hundred of these over the years for sale.
BUT YOU MUST TEST THE FABRIC IN THE MICROWAVE.
If not flame resistant the will be dangerous.

re: Wheat Bags

Hi Victoria, They will be used like the micro teddies you can get. Provide heat so not so cold when the kids go to bed.
