Materials (per sachet)

Scissors
Two pieces of silk organza: 7"x18" (large) or 5"x13" (small)
Sewing machine
Matching thread
Bag of dried lavender
Silk ribbon in 24" lengths

Instructions

step 1Cut two pieces of silk organza into 7"x18" lengths for each sachet. Use two shades of organza, either white and another shade, or two complementary shades.

step 2Fold both pieces of material in half, keeping the white organza on the inside. Stitch down both outside edges to form a bag.

step 3Reverse the bag so that colored material is now on the inside. Fold the top edge over twice and stitch that down, creating a color band.

step 4Fill the sachet with lavender three-quarters full. Cut a 24" length of silk ribbon to match color lining of large bag; 18" for small bag. Tie a small bow.

I would love to know where I can get some lavender. I was looking for something special to give to some friends when we get together for a girls night. This is perfect!
