Today I harvested my lavender and put together about a dozen pieces in each bunch and tied them together with a piece of string and hung them in my garage to dry well. I will then remove the little pieces and use them in small pieces of cloth that I will sew into little pillows. They smell really nice and make great "stocking stuffers".
:) aren't they wonderful? and it's a stunning way to use up scraps of fabric- I helped a local seamstress clean up her shop one weekend, and came home with a trashbag full of scraps- some of them a foot square! silks and linens and upholstery fabrics...
you can blend the lavender with whole (not instant) rice to fill eye pillows as well...
and I make sachets out of cedar shavings or pine needles (coarsely chopped) as well- dads like them :)
