Today we are making a scented sachet that smells like lavender. We dried lavender sprigs from the garden and saved them, now we can put them to good use. First we make a cushion with the lavender seeds in it. Next week we embroider lavender sprigs on a piece of cloth, with which we make a cover for this mini pillow. A fun craft for our older mini monsters!
How to make a lavender scented sachet
Cut two squares of 12x12cm.
Pin the two squares together.
Stitch it on three sides.
Use a sewing machine or by hand.
Leave one side of the sachet open, we use the open side to fill it
Finish the 3 sewn sides with zigzag.
Turn the bag inside out.
Fill it with sheeps wool and seeds.
Fold on the open side the edges inward and pin the mini-cushion closed
Measure the bag to 10x10cm then sew it closed.
Sew by hand or on the sewing macine.
Next Thursday, on May 25th we show you how to embroider the cushion cover!
