Vintage pastel linen embroidery lavender bag

This lovely old piece from a vintage dressing table runner was at the end of its life. However, it still had a period charm, with its faded vintage flowers and well washed linen, and was the perfect fabric for lavender bags. I have filled it with dried lavender from Terrington village in North Yorkshire. Lavender has been used for centuries for its special properties, so, pop it over a clothes hanger or in a drawer to keep your clothes smelling sweet and free from moths, or under your pillow for a healthy nights sleep. This lavender would make a nice present for someone learning to embroider, for a bride wanting pretty storage for a wedding dress, or for anyone who wants a restful nights sleep. The bag measures 11 cm by 11 cm and nestling inside it is a muslin bag of dried Yorkshire lavender. There is a hook for popping over a clothes hanger, or to hang it up like a tiny piece of craftwork in its own right. The front is made from a fragment of a dressing table cloth, and the back is embroiderie anglaise, the little holes allowing the scent to come out. It is finished off with my own embroidered name tag. I like to reuse. Your bag will be posted out in clean recycled packaging from my hoard, and sent as Royal Mail 2nd class.
