	materials required

	20cm (8in) of 114cm – (45in-) wide Ombre Stripe (OS 05) Lilac (SC 36) and Lavender (SC 14) Shot Cottons 1.1m (1¼ yds) of 10mm- (in-) wide lilac velvet ribbon Matching thread Dried lavender for filling

	instructions

	From the striped fabric, cut two squares 12.5 x 12.5 cm (5 x 5in). With right sides facing, raw edges level and using a 1cm seam allowance, machine stitch and two squares together around all sides leaving an opening for turning through. Clip corners and turn each square through to the right side, carefully pushing out the corners. Press seamed edges flat, and then fill the sachet through the opening with lavender. Slipstitch the opening edges together. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with the remaining two fabrics. When you have completed the three sachets, stack them in a pile and tie them together using the ribbon in the same manner that you would tie up a parcel. Finish ends in a bow and trim away any excess ribbon by cutting off at an angle.
