Simple Lavender Sachets

I DO LOVE LAVENDER
Always have…….
Once or twice a year I make lavender sachets and stash them everywhere.
 I always make enough for friends and family too.
So simple to make.
 
 I need to remember to put a few of these in the car.
 The fabric is all reclaimed cottons.
Stamped a little bird on some of them.

I buy my lavender for making sachets at www.atlanticspice.com
I do grow some of my own too, but none of my plants made it through last winter, so I had to start over again this year.
Simple handmade joy!
Thanks for looking!

"I Can Make That Myself"

If you're a crafter like me, perhaps you think like I do.
When I'm shopping and see something I want, I look at the price and say to myself, "I can make that myself for a lot less".
Then I purchase the materials to make the item and never get around to actually making it.
Well, I finally did.
I made ruffles. Ruffled pillows and ruffled sheets.
The one on top is a thrifted find and is made of cotton and is embroidered in the corner.

I made the white linen ones.
There are two with ruffles around the edges and one with ruffles covering the entire front of the pillow.

I also made two for my chairs.
They are beige with blue flowers.
I added a big ruffle to the top of the sheet too.

I repurposed a tattered old tablecloth to make these lavender sachets to hang from the bed post.
You can never have too many pillows or lavender sachets.

I think it's time for me to nap now.

See ya soon.
