Lavender bags

Here we go – matching lavender bags, to go with yesterday’s wheat pads.

These are half the size of the wheat pads, so approximately 10cm (that’s 4″) square. They’re made in the same way, with a recycled polycotton inner bag which contains the lavender. How I made these without spilling tons lavender and wheat into the guts of my overlocker, I’m not too sure! There’s approximately three ice-cream scoops of lavender in each little bag. Measured very scientifically, I can assure you.

As you can see, the little loop makes them easy to hang up wherever you like!

I’m thinking of making some cinnamon and clove bags to hang up at Christmas, for a seasonal scent. Some cedar or pine scented bags might be nice too, to keep the moths at bay from your wardrobe or knitting stash…

These are also on their way to the Art Market, but when I return I’ll be making some more. I’ve been asked to make a tutorial too, so I’ll make a new page for that when it’s done.
