I finally got back to sewing this weekend by making an ice pack for the boy. He's been training for his 6th marathon and hurt his ankle a week ago. He's been icing it up every night, but would only put the bare ice pack on his leg. The suggestion of using a towel with the ice pack was shot down immediately. But I wanted to make an ice pack for him anyway. I knew it would be more comfortable.

Yesterday, I cut into an old towel (one that didn't match the rest of our gray set) and based the size off of the ice pack we had in the freezer. I happened to get some red velcro at the Crafty Swap & Beer from the previous week, so it was perfect. I put the velcro on both sides of the wrap so that you could just put it on without looking. It's just easier that way.

And... he uses it! Good.
