DH never ceases to amaze me, he picked out our floral bedding, his favorite flower is the Black Eye Susan and he loves lavender just as much as I do! When I showed him the big bag of lavender I’d received in the post yesterday, he said he wanted a lavender pillow from the entire pound! Well, that’s not going to happen but I did make him a manly sachet.
I dug through my stash and pulled out a retro clock print in olive green (Ruby Star Shining by Melody Miller) then traced 1/2″ around one of the clocks and used that as a template to trace around another identical clock.
With right sides together I sewed around the shape leaving an opening large enough to stick my finger in with a little room to spare, about 1 & 1/4″. Turn inside out and stuff as much lavender as possible into the opening. I cut some cotton batting scraps into little pieces to cover the hole before sewing so the lavender wouldn’t spill out.
Using a tiny whip stitch, sew up the opening et voila, a funky, retro, masculine lavender sachet!

Here it is all done with my foxy little friend, I hope dh likes it. 😀
