This little lavender bag decoration makes a lovely gift and is a great way of practicing your machine sewing. The tricky corners require you to ‘pivot’ (that’s when your machine needle is down inside the fabric and you turn the material by raising the foot before lowering it again). It’s a very nifty skill and it means all your corners will be as sharp and neat as possible. You could also sew this lavender bag by hand but please use tiny stitches – you don’t want the lavender spilling out! If you don’t have any lavender, then just stuff the tree with cotton wool.
You will need some fabric (recycle if you can), some felt, 12cm piece of ribbon or embroidery thread for hanging, scissors, pins, and card or paper. Loose lavender or cotton wool. We purchased our lavender here.
The lovely collection of lavender bags above were made by Suzanne Dean a learner on our FREE All Sewn Up course.
