Lavender Sachets.

I have created these little lavender sachets, each from two different vintage fabrics joined down the centre. The side seams are then stitched to make a bag. The top edge is folded a little inside and they are stuffed to bulging with dried lavender flowers. The opening is gathered and stitched closed.

Each one was then trimmed with a vintage flower, buttons, and glass and pearl beads. They would make a pretty little stocking filler, or tucked in a gift of lingerie maybe?



Also, just to say, that I will be at the Bristol Vintage Fashion Fair on Sunday. If you are interested in coming along, please go to www.bristolvintagefashionfair.co.uk

  1. They are gorgeous. I wish I lived closer to come to the fair and see all your beautiful designs in person. But it's a long flight just for a fair, I don't think my husband would go for it:-(...Nel

  6. These are lovely, I like the little buttons and bits you have sewn on the tops, makes them so much more unusual than most lavender bags.

  8. Your lavender bags are beautiful Niki. I am hoping to go to the Exeter vintage Fashion fair in December. Are you going to that one too?

  10. Thanks everyone for the lovely comments!

    Donna, I have decided not to do the Exeter Fashion Fair. I want to keep December free. I have a very busy November- with Bristol, Shepton Mallet and then Cheltenham.
    Hope you enjoy it though!
