Sashiko Lavender Sachets

My latest venture into Sashiko is also one of my favourite things to own and make - lavender bags, or as they are also called lavender sachets.
I always add a hanging ribbon to mine so they are easy to place around the house or even in the car. (I hate those synthetic air fresheners)
I have made these Sashiko sachets from organic hemp muslin and used organic kapok stuffing to give them a lovely soft and squishy feel. I am always amazed at how long the fragrance lasts, and when you give them a little squeeze the fragrance is revitalised - aah!


This one is made using a traditional Sashiko rice flower stitch, which I currently have for sale on my Etsy shop.https://www.etsy.com/listing/120674935/organic-hemp-lavender-sachetbag-sashiko


 For this one I have used a Sashiko style of embroidery to create my own patterns. 





And I have even created some especially for Valentines Day. Please take a look at my Etsy shop for more examples of my designs. http://www.etsy.com/shop/HempLondon?ref=si_shop
If you would like to make your own Sashiko lavender bag, please come back and check my blog in the next few days as I'm planning a tutorial of the Rice Flower design.
