Using a tiny hand-held loom, you'll learn how to warp it, weave a small piece of fabric, remove it from the loom, fold, fill with freshly dried organic lavender and stitch it closed. A variety of embellishments will be provided for decoration. You'll also learn how to dry your own lavender and how to strip the buds to make your own potpourri. These little fragrant sachets are great to put in your drawer at work to squeeze and inhale during those stressful moments! Or for your linen drawers, or gifts for friends and loved ones. Great travelling project - the loom can easily fit in your purse. The fabric can also be used as a necklace holder for your Ipod, a pin cushion, or sew several together to make a blanket! |
