1 Xmas item a month

I have been trying to find something to do with these hankies I bought a while back (years ago). I was playing around with one and had an inspiration to make a triangle pouch. Turning it into a lavender sachet was the next logical step. Everyone can use a lavender sachet in their clothes or hall cupboard or fabric stash. I made two for today and think I will make some more for Christmas through the year. I cut the hankie in half then put bias binding at an angle. I did a narrow french seam on the raw edge side and threaded in the ribbon.

1 Xmas item a month is hosted by Narelle at Pins and Whiskers. Why not see what others are doing and maybe join in with the linky.

Narelle had a link to Stitched Sunday which sounds really good. Learn to stitch from scratch every Sunday starting tomorrow with some pre-lesson info.

Happy Sewing,

1 Xmas item a month

I couldn't believe it was the 25th already!
I had been planning to make a little hanging heart decoration. Every time I used the computer the book lay next to me open at the picture and I kept thinking "Plenty of time". Lucky I picked something quick and easy :)
I made this one into a lavender sachet to hang in the wardrobe.

I also made a phone pouch out of selvedges and put it in 'My Designs' page with a tutorial pdf. But this is for me, not a gift.

Happy Scrapping,
Val
