Handwoven Lavender Sachets
|
 |
|
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! |
