These lavender sachets are made with the minimum of sewing, but still give the impression of traditional craftsmanship.
Total Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 2 yards of lace = 9 bags
Supplies:
- 2 yd 4 inch wide broderie anglais lace
- 2 yd narrow satin ribbon (scraps are nice because you can vary the colours)
- white or cream sewing thread (depending on shade of lace)
- dried lavender flowers or pot pourri (these can be obtained from eBay)
Steps:
- Take an 8 inch length of lace and fold it in half to make a 4 inch square.
- Seam the two raw edges.
- Turn the bag inside out.
- Insert a teaspoonful of lavender.
- Use narrow ribbon to bind the bag below the lace edge, and finish with a bow. It would be possible to fashion a loop from the ribbon to affix to a coat hanger, but you might want to draw up the bag with a running stitch before affixing the ribbon, in this case, to make sure that the bag contents would not end up on the floor if the ribbon was pulled in the process of moving coat hangers along the rail.
