Every quilter knows that a long day hunched over a sewing machine takes a toll on the neck and back. Enter the quilted microwavable neck warmer - the perfect DIY project to soothe those tired muscles and unwind in style. It's a super quick project that will make such a difference in your sewing practice! Download the printable instructions for an overview of the project, and follow the blog post for more detailed instructions!
What You'll Need:
To get started on your very own neck warmer, you'll need a few key ingredients: some fabric (go wild with patterns or keep it classic), rice and flax seed (for that heat-retaining magic), and a sewing machine (this is the one I use).
Fabric Requirements:
- (1) 16" x 34" scrap of fabric
- Batting scrap
What you need:
Take fabric scrap and baste to batting using adhesive spray. Mark quilting lines with your hera marker. Quilt as desired - I chose a simple 1” straight line design.
Step 1: Measure Twice, Cut Once
Take you quilted fabric, measure (2) 7" x 32" rectangles. Lengthen or shorten to your desired size - remember, you want it to comfortably wrap around your neck, so don't be shy with the measurements. Cut out two identical rectangles - these will be the outer shell of your neck warmer.
Optional: Trim the corners of the rectangles to create curved edges.
Step 2: Sewing Shenanigans
Now it's time to get stitching! Place the two fabric rectangles right sides together, clip edges and sew around the edges, leaving a small opening to fill with rice/flax seeds.
Once you've sewn the rectangles together, trim the curved edges (to lay flat), and turn the neck warmer right side out. Fill just over halfway with a combination of rice and flax seeds. Just rice can be used, but the flax helps to retain the heat longer. Remember, the neck warmer should drape comfortably, so don't overfill it.
Once you've filled it up, sew the opening shut and admire your handiwork.
Step 3: Heat Things Up
Pop your newly minted neck warmer in the microwave for a minute or two (make sure to test the heat on your wrist first - we don't want any burnt necks!). Then, wrap it around your neck, sit back, and feel the stress melt away.
Relax and Enjoy
There you have it - your very own quilted microwavable neck warmer, perfect for unwinding after a day of sewing up a storm. So kick back, relax, and let the warmth seep into your tired muscles. You deserve it, you crafting wizard, you! Complete the cozy experience with a quilty mug and candle!
Wasn’t that easy?!

I have heard from many people that they became rich through money spells. First I did not believe it but I said to myself I give it a try. That’s how everything started. I wrote you a mail and also contacted you via: lovetemplesolution@priest.com or WhatsApp via: +254795696876, you did the spell, I received your email exactly the way you wrote it. Not even 1 week later I won little prizes from the lottery, 1,000 Dollars, 4,000 Dollars, 25,000 Dollars but never more than 50,000 Dollars and then 2 weeks later I won my first BIG prize, which was 209,840.00 Dollars. I was already very happy because at least I got the money back I invested in the spell. What then happened was out of this world. Until now I cannot believe that you really helped me to hit the Million Jackpot. You made my dearest wishes come true with the money spell and I am living the life I have always dreamed of. To everyone: You can work as much as you want and you could never get rich from it. Dr. PRINCE is a great person, I am very happy I have found him. No matter what kind of problem or obstacle I have to deal with in my future I know that Dr. PRINCE can solve it. Thanks again and I promised to tell the world about him. Get to him via: lovetemplesolution@priest.com or WhatsApp via: +254795696876.. Wishes you all the best of lucks.
