Valentine Potpourri Sachet
Valentine Potpourri Sachet
http://www.seanet.com/~needlebeetle/valentinepotpourrisachet.htm
Supplies:
6" x 12" piece of white Tulle or nylon net (I used Tulle)
1/2 yard or 2" wide pre gathered lace
5" of 1/4" wide white picot edge ribbon
Potpourri (I used cinnamon) about 1/2 cup
White thread
Instructions:
Fold tulle piece in half lengthwise. Trace a heart shape 6" tall, and 5 1/2"
wide and cut out, making two layers.
Due to the nature of tulle, it is much easier to sew the lace trim onto one
side, and then put the other tulle heart piece on top of that. Be sure the raw
edge of the lace meets the edge of the heart, with the finished edge of the
lace to the inside of the heart. (It is sewn just as if sewing a ruffle on to
a pillow.) Slightly overlap the edges of the lace, and trim excess after
stitching.
Fold ribbon piece in half, twisting 1/2 turn. Stitch to top center of heart
piece matching raw edges.
Once the lace and ribbon are attached to one tulle heart, lay the other tulle
heart on top. Stitch around edge, leaving a 2" opening on one lower edge for
filling. Gently turn heart sachet to right side.
Fill with potpourri, breaking down any large pieces. Once filled, stitch
opening shut. If needed, once stitching is completed, redistribute
potpourri filling to fill
all edges and corners.
