Description

This lavender bag is upcycled from a vintage floral embroidered tray cloth which had seen better days. The front is stitched with a trail of stylised flowers with a Folk Art feel, and the back is a section of white broderie anglaise which lets the scent waft out. Inside is a little muslin bag of lavender from The Yorkshire Lavender Farm. Pop it in a drawer or over a hanger to keep your clothes smelling sweet, or under your pillow to encourage a healthy nights' sleep. And don't forget, storing lavender with your clothes will help to keep at bay those pesky moths. This pretty lavender bag would make a lovely house warming present, a bridesmaid's thank you gift or some self-care for someone you love! The lavender bag is 11 cm by 11 cm and nestling inside is a muslin bag of dried lavender . The front has a trail of embroidered flowers, and the back is white broderie anglaise to allow the scent out. There is a hook to go over your clothes hangers, or to hang it up as a tiny piece of craft in its own right. It is finished with my own embroidered name tag. I like to reuse. Your lavender bag will be posted out wrapped in clean, recycled wrapping and sent as Royal Mail 2nd class. Inspiration: I love the worn charm of old table linens like this. There is often a tiny piece intact, and just the right size for a little vintage lavender bag.
