Protect your closet, fabric totes, and yarn stash from pesky fiber-eating moths—and keep things smelling clean and fresh while you’re at it—with a set of easy-to-make lavender sachets!
For this tutorial, I used my new GO! Baby Fabric Cutter [this is an affiliate link ], which was provided by the generous folks at AccuQuilt. (You may recognize it from the Sewing for all Seasons book party , where we made sewn circle garland.) bedding stores Full disclosure: I am, somewhat to my surprise, absolutely head-over-heels in love with this machine. I’ve always bedding stores been more of an all-you-really-need-is-a good-pair-of-scissors kind of gal, but, even so, I kind of want to use my GO! Baby for every single project that I’m working bedding stores on right now. That said, you certainly don’t need a GO! Baby of your own to make lavender sachets with this tutorial .
Tools: * AccuQuilt GO! Baby Fabric Cutter (Optional, but very helpful!) * AccuQuilt GO! Circle Die (Optional) * Accuquilt GO! 6 x 12 inch cutting mat (Optional) * Sewing machine with buttonhole foot (Optional) bedding stores * Circle bedding stores template , 5" and 3" circles (Optional) * Fabric scissors bedding stores * Sewing needles * Straight pins or Clover wonder clips * Iron and ironing board * Quilting ruler * Wooden bedding stores chopstick * Notecard or scrap paper
Step 1: Cut your fabric scraps into two 5" circles. (I used my fancy new AccuQuilt GO! Baby, but a pair of fabric scissors is just fine too.) Then, pin the circles together with right sides facing, making sure the edges line up.
Step 2: Using your sewing machine, sew the two circles together around the outside edge using a ½" seam allowance, leaving an inch or so of the edge unsewn so you can turn the connected bedding stores circles bedding stores of your sachet right side out in step 4.
Step 3: Use your fabric scissors to cut notches all the way around the outside edges of the circle, taking care not cut into the seam. (This will help your seam lay flat when you turn the sachet right side out in the next step.) bedding stores
Step 4: Turn the sachet right side out through the hole that you left open in step 2 (I always use a wooden chopstick to make this process easier), then use your iron to press the seams flat around the edges.
Step 8: To make a smaller set of sachets for your yarn stash or underwear drawer (about 2" in diameter), cut 3" circles bedding stores in place of the 5" circles that you cut in step 1, then insert a folded piece of ribbon into the sachet bedding stores opening in step 5, hand-sewing the opening shut and securing the tab in place.
