Lorra Lorra Lavender

Whilst we were residents of 2 St Stephens Villas, Mummy Sue kindly gave me some Lavender at the end of autumn last year, which has been tied up in a bag and sat in a pile of ideas since then! After moving to Bristol and playing house, we recently bought a vintage wardrobe for our bedroom, which unsurprisingly has a bit of a foisty aroma to it. So I finally had the excuse to make lavender pouches and pillows all round! The lavender still smells good and strong, and they are working a treat! Thank you again M.Sue!

I made a few different styles. A draw string pouch. A pillow. Both of which I trimmed with some pretty lace and my amazing Wishmeam* labels, which John got me once as a gift. :)
I also made the other simple pouches with just a ribbon tie around the top. These were from old pockets from a dress I cut up! I knew they would come in use one day! Hoorah for keeping useless bits of things in the hope of them being made into something else.

Lavender Fresssshhhhh
