Holiday Gift Sewing ~ Lavender Sachets

I have been doing lots of sewing the past week!

  

 Trying to get as many Holiday gifts sewn as possible!

I used some Liberty florals, text prints and some button from my stash.

You can find the tutorial [HERE]

with a link to purchase lavender buds for the project.

Happy Sewing!

Lavender Sachet Tutorial

It's lavender harvesting time of year in my garden.

I have lots of plants and love to make sachets with the dried buds.

They are great for scenting closets and drawers, and also make fun gifts.

Years ago I created a tutorial to make your own lavender sachet.  The pattern uses 2 1/2" squares and is a great way to use up your fabric scraps.  I used some favorite Liberty fabrics and text prints.

I also use some buttons from my stash.   Some of the buttons are vintage and others are new.

If you'd like to make your own sachet tutorial, you can find it [HERE]

Happy Sewing!

Sunday Stash with Liberty Tana Lawns

I hope you are enjoying your Sunday.  I picked the last of the lavender from my garden that I will use for sachets and cooking.  My husband makes killer Lavender lemon scones!  The recipe is from my favorite Seattle bakery - Macrina.  

My roses are still blooming - you can see a little peek in the upper right hand corner of the photo.

My house is full of vases with the luscious smelling blooms.  I will be sad when they are gone.

I could't resist making a sachet with the my Liberty Tana 

Lawn scraps  and lavender from my garden!  The pattern is one I designed, way back when, for Stitch Gifts 2012.

You could also use my tutorial for a simple four patch sachet - tutorial is [here].  It is a great project for using your favorite scraps.  

Here is a little sneak peek of a project I am working on for the Liberty Craft Blog with these beautiful fabrics!  They are so summery which is nice since summer is coming to an end.  I love the citrus colors (hint, hint).

Have a lovely evening!
