This week the Stamped and Stitiched sachets caught my eye. But to me they are just lavender bags!
What appealed was the shabby chic finish to them. this is my style as I cannot do neat and tidy anything. I could open a shop…."raw edges are us".
I started by cutting rectangles of muslin and slightly smaller ones of cotton to fit inside. I stamped the TH dragonfly onto the fronts with archival and painted over bits lightly with Silks Acrylic Glaze African Jade.
I filled and machine stitched the inner bags and just sewed around the edges of the muslin attached lace,
Then I tried a heart shaped one which is easy when you have raw edges rather than having to turn them inside out after sewing.
So I have a little bit of shabby art which is fragrant and decorative.
These are wonderful Hazel! That dragonfly image is just about my favourite TH stamp I think and the heart bag looks really pretty with the lace round. Bet they smell lovely too!
