Little Lavender Sachet

A lavender sachet doesn’t have to be a specific size or shape.  These little sachets are a triangle.  They even have a little ribbon loop so you can hook it onto something or grab it easy.

Besides using them in your drawers and maybe your fabric shelf these would be great to use as fabric weights when you are cutting out pattern template.

Don’t be alarmed by the triangle– it’s quick to sew and you’ll love sewing it!

make your own lavender sachets

The little ribbon at the top is handy to hang up anywhere you’d like.

The size is a bit small, you can make adjustments if you need….but I find it just perfect for tucking in the corner of a sock drawer or in your car.
