What was your inspiration?

I wanted to create a pretty and useful gift that I could sew up quickly.

These Relax Packs are the perfect pampering gift to give. They can be heated up in the microwave or chilled in the freezer and provide a wonderful, herbal experience for the user.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I chose lavender and chamomile flowers for their soothing aroma, you can try different herbal flowers of your liking or make a non-scented Relax Pack.

I like the idea of the flax seed I have one my sister-in-law purchased for me and I am literally wearing it out and have yet to find a pattern with the flax seed in it, up until now, Thanks so much for sharing. Mine is a shawl and quite a bit bigger but I think if this pattern were tripled it would make the same size, mine also has a cinnamon scent to it, which is very soothing too.

Where can chamomile and lavender flowers be purchased ? I'm assuming you used dried ? Love this project ! I made one with dry rice, which works very well for warmth, but I didn't care so much for the smell of warm rice. Thanks for sharing.

I went on- line and found a seller for the dried lavender and chamomile flowers. Shop around, prices vary and quantities vary. Depending on how many you plan to make you might want a bulk quantity. The flax seed is nice, no smell when heated and not pointy like rice is. You can find that in the health food section of most grocery stores.
