The Magic Bag Heating Pad that I've been using has been hitting the mending pile recently. And when the latest patch work started to open again, I decided that it was either time to buy another (these are a Canadian product) or sew a new one. I decided to save some money and sew my own.
I cut open the straight edge and removed the filling, saving it to reuse in the new bag. I used the old Magic Bag as my pattern and cut out the fabric, a medium weight 100% cotton fabric.
I transferred the topstitching line on one side and folded it over to transfer the design on the other side. Then I topstitched the lines before filling the bag. The bag was closed with the serger.
