You Will Need
-
Step 1RIBBON DRAWSTRING BAG:
Collect together all your supplies (I forgot to photograph the ribbon.
-
Step 2Cut a piece of fabric just over twice the height you want your bag to be and just over the width you want your bag.
(yes, that is me)
-
Step 3Fold the fabric in half, with right sides together and sew down both sides * leaving around 1 inch gap at the top unsewn.
-
Step 4Sew down the top of one side into a channel and thread through a piece of ribbon. The ribbon should be double the length of the width of your bag.
Make sure your ribbon has the same length either side of the bag then sew a little cross in the middle to stop the ribbon unthreading itself.
-
Step 5(sorry, this is hard to see)
Measure half of your bag and then mark an inch or so either side of it.
-
Step 6Cut a little slit at each of these marks and thread the ends of your ribbon through.
-
Step 7Sew the top of the bag like step 4. Make sure you don't sew through the ribbon!!
-
Step 8Fill your bag with lavender heads! Don't overfill it but use enough to give your bag some shape and smell.
-
Step 9Pull the ends of the ribbon and the top of the bag will scrunch up. Tie the ribbon in a bow and put a few stitches through so the bow and bag doesn't come undone and so you can hang the bag up using the ribbon loops.
-
Step 10PLAIN BAG:
Follow instructions to the * in step 3.
Then follow step 8.
Finally sew up the top of the bag with a loop of ribbon in it.
-
Step 11SHAPED BAG:
Cut 2 of the shape you want with seam allowances all around.
-
Step 12Sew all around your shape with the right sides together leaving a gap to stuff later on. Remember to sew in a loop of ribbon to hang it up with!
-
Step 13
Turn your creation inside out then stuff with lavender.
-
Step 14
Sew up the hole you used to stuff the lavender.
