sew a scented sachet
27 December 2020
These cute scented sachets are quick and easy to sew, perfect to scatter around your house for an uplifting or comforting burst of fragrance! They are a great way to use up scraps of fabric and make nice gifts. Throw them in drawers or shoes, add a loop to hang one in your wardrobe or anywhere that you want a little scented goodness.
The theme for the Aurifil Artisan challenge this month is Holiday Project and having designed these little sachets, I thought it would be fun to sew some winter themed ones and share a tutorial so you can make your own.
I picked out some cute trees and moon fabrics and then the bright orangey red/pink fabric just jumped out at me. Let's be real, we want our houses and spaces to smell nice all year round and this makes such a nice seasonal project - you could switch them up and change the filling with the seasons. I used scrap fabrics and cut up a gift bag that had been given to me for the organza - use what you have! So grab a fabric print that takes your fancy, add trimmings, ribbon or twine and make a pretty sachet for your space.
