Easy Sachets

Another quick and easy project is making sachets. Use them in all your clothing drawers or add a hanger to them and hang them up in your closet to keep everything smelling fresh.

Again, use small designs like an oriental symbol, a butterfly, an initial, a simple saying or a cute birdhouse. Anything you like can be used, there are no rules here. After you finish stitching your design cut your fabric to any size you want your sachet to be (I usually make them about 4" square) plus 1/2" for the seams. Now with right sides together pin the fabric to hold in place and then stitch around all sides leaving an opening on on side. Trim the corners diagonally and turn right sides out. Fill the sachet with a little filling and some potpourri and slip stitch the opening closed.

You can also make these for holiday gifts using small holiday designs. Put 3 or 4 together in a bundle and tie them up in festive ribbon. Great teacher gifts!!
