    Benefits of Lavender

    Lavender has a lot of treatment efficacy. It improves mood and supports brain. It repels moths and mosquitoes and has been used as a sleep aid when placed near a pillow. 

     

    Grow Your Own

    There are many kinds of lavender that can be grown in your garden.

     

    Cut the Fabric

    To make one sachet, measure and cut two 6 inch squares of fabric. Cut two 6-inch long pieces of lace trim.

     

    Sew the Sachet

    Sew one piece of lace trim across the top of each fabric piece.  Place the fabric on top of each other aligning the lace together with the good sides of the fabric facing in.  Sew along the three edges of the fabric, leaving the lace side completely open.

     

    Right Side Out

    Turn the bag right side out.  The open side with the lacing will be where you fill the bags.

     

    Add Lavender

    Fill the sachet approximately half way with dried lavender buds.

     

    Add Ties

    With some gardening twine, tie them off.  When the scent wears off, you can replace the lavender by simply untying the bag or you can add a few drops of lavender essential oil to refresh the buds.
