A few years ago, I went on vacation with Jesse's family to the San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington State. We rode bikes around the small towns, rented kayaks, & ate amazing food. While there, we visited a lavender farm and I brought home a big plastic bag of loose lavender flower buds. I'd been meaning to use it but never did anything. This Valentine's Day, I finally got around to putting the flowers to use - paired with a pretty fabric, I made a quick & easy sachet.
First, I cut two small squares of fabric and, right side in, sewed three and a half of the edges shut...
I flipped the fabric so that the right side was now on the outside....
...stuffed with lavender and sewed the open edge shut.
A perfect little gift for V-Day.
And while I was at it, I grabbed some catnip and made up one for our cats. My dad told me once that I had "early onset cat lady tendencies." I can't imagine where he'd ever get that impression...
Stay homey!
Love this!! Must remember this for my cousins bridal shower. Your cat is so darn cute and what a great idea to fill the sachet with cat nip!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a super-happy kitty! Great idea, Caitlin!

ReplyDeleteThanks, you guys! I took about 25 pictures of Bean... cat lady, indeed.
ReplyDeleteOh no, early onset cat lady tendencies - watch out! Next thing you know, they'll be calling animal control on you!
ReplyDeleteI love the scent of lavender and this is a great reminder of your trip - and the cat seems to like it too!
