Little Lavender Sachets

Making little lavender sachets was much easier than I thought. It was fun and very rewarding consider how little time and effort it took. They are great for closets, drawers and make nice little gifts. =) Here are the simple steps to create your own four little ones.

make four 2 1/2 inch square sachets


lovely fabric (top) 6" x 12"
muslin or cotton fabric (inside) 6" x 12"
dried lavender buds
lace (optional)

Mark lines every 3 inches on the right side of muslin (the side not facing top fabric) to make four 3" x 6 "parts. Clip both fabric together and pin lace 2" from one end of the right side of the top fabric. Sew lace and fabric together. Then fold fabric together, inside out and sew 1/4" from edges and both sides of marked lines.Cut along the marked lines and trim bottom corners.Turn right side out and make a folded mark approximately 1/2" from opening. Fill sachets half full with lavender.Close sachets along the folded mark and sew 1/4" from the edges.Finish! =D

Happy Friday! =)

Ozz

Have you got a chance to read the current issue of Haute Doll Magazine yet? I'm so thrilled to see one of the featured artists, Julien Martinez of Ozz Dolls Factory. Even though his creations maybe slightly a little bit much for me, I really admire his talent and dedication on his doll couture. His attention to details is superb.Happy Wednesday!

Flower Power

I've been quite out of touch recently since our little big home makeover. It was the first time that I took my time to walk down the aisle at Target and found a lovely collection of floral pattern. I looked up and found the bright fuchsia pink sign says Liberty of London. No wonder!
Happy Tuesday!
