Fragrant sachet
When moving to another city and country, I was physically unable to take all my fabrics, threads, and other handicraft items with me. Having settled in a new boring (minimalist) apartment, I wanted to fill it with cute little things that will delight and give the apartment comfort like this fragrant sachet.
This sachet is very easy to make.
Difficulty: low.
Fragrant sachet
Materials: white cotton (I have a simple shirt), decorative braid, thread (I took a black thread for contrast with white fabric), needle, scissors, filler (holofiber or cotton wool).
As fragrant fillers, you can take not only lavender. You can try lemon balm, sage, linden inflorescences, rose petals. Or add sea salt after dropping a few drops of lemon or mint oil. I mixed fragrant sea salt with rose petals.
Let’s get started. The first thing to do is to draw the outline of a man and wings with a simple pencil. I took a picture from a children’s book.
Threading the needle, we begin to sew along the contour. If we do it by hand, it turns out smoother, and using a sewing machine is faster.
Putting the second piece of fabric on top of the embroidery, we sew around the pattern with an indent of about 5mm.
Cut a hole and turn out. Fill with cotton wool or synthetic winterizer not tightly, but slightly to give a little volume. And flavored salt or herbs would be nice to collect in an envelope. Straighten it inside. And sew up the hole.
Sew the wings on the back of the man. Sew on a ribbon or thread so that you can hang it in the interior. For the second option, I took a small piece of wire. You can leave it without tape and put it on a shelf or desktop.
So that the little man does not seem too boring, put dots on the crown with the back of the brush. I used regular yellow acrylic paint.
Such interior trifles, details contribute to the self-expression and creative development of the individual. So on the desktop, such a sachet will not be superfluous.
