Sew: Rice Bag

I needed a hand made gift for an exchange at a my quarterly stamp meeting so after much thought I decided to make a rice bag. My first attempt was quite a success. I just wish I could have kept it for myself.

I used some fabric from my "Get rid of it" stash; a soft woven fabric with what I call girly camouflage. It is 27" by about 5" sewn every 3 inches and filled with 1/2 Cup brown rice (had it on hand). As you can see by my only picture of it that I procrastinated and gave it away before taking any other photos. Kathy was excited she got it and knew exactly what to do with it.
