Ice Pack Covers

Ice pack cover

     A friend wanted some covers for her ice packs for her knees.  She had read that having the covering wet, makes the ice pack colder.  I had some extra hand towels in my stash from when I bought two packs to make napkins for everyone for Breencation in 2023.  

Getting the right size

     Turns out they were just the right size.  This meant I didn't have to cut anything or worry about raw edges.  I folded in the one towel be the right size to hold the ice pack.  I marked for the Velcro placement but before sewing it in place I unfolded the towel.  That allows for there to be a flap over the icepack so it won't fall out even if the Velcro gives way.

Getting the Velcro in place

     I used my large Wonder Clips to hold the Velcro in place on the over flap and some Jewel's Tape to hold it in place on the under flap.  After I sewed the Velcro down, I refolded the flap and then pinned the two towels together and stitched around the edges.  

Finished ice pack cover

     Should be a soft, durable cover for her ice packs.  It would have been fun to maybe embroider something on the towels.
