· Double over muslin. Sew sides and
bottom. Divide as shown above, leaving the top open.
· Using a funnel, fill the four 4.5

the first one, and then do an assembly line for future neck coolers.

securely.
For the Body of the Neck Cooler:
· Cut Cotton outside fabric 5 inches x
width of fabric (42 inches)
· Double over cotton fabric, right
sides together.
· Leaving an 18 inch opening in the center top, sew to either side, narrowing to a
point.
· Trim excess fabric in the point
areas. Turn. Iron.
· Iron the top 18 inch opening, so that
the quarter inch seam allowance is set.
· Insert the muslin filled with the
water crystals.
· Sew along either side of the muslin
lining to secure it in the cotton neck cooler.
· Sew along the top 18 inch edge,
catching muslin layer in the ironed seam.
Finish the seam along the entire length of the neck cooler.
