It’s time to share my 3rd Scrap Project sample, today’s it’s the Lavender Bags.
There’s not too much to say about this very simple Make. I have simply cut out squares of the fabric scraps, using a little paper template (1). I overlocked the fabric pieces together on three sides (4). Initially, I turned over the 4th edge (the top of the bag) before sewing down the sides. However, I felt, this approach made a rather bulky edge to the top; the other two bags - I simply overlocked to the end of the fabric. My photo story (6&7) shows the different approaches. In the end, I’m not sure it made that much difference ? After overlocking the edges, I filled my bags with lavender, added a little folded tape (8) and hand sewed the top of the bag. That’s it !
I love my little bags. They have turned out better than I expected. My plan is to attach small cup hooks to the top of my wardrobe and hang my bags in there. I can also add the bags to individual hangers. They smell lovely.
Tomorrow, it’s my final Scrap Project sample, a pair of knickers. Call in the check out the Make.
Thanks for calling in today.
