instructions
-
Follow the chart provided to create the hanging bunch of lavender, using two strands of cotton for the cross-stitch. Sew over one block of pale pink Aida. Use two strands of cotton for the stems and add them in long stitches, as shown on the chart.
-
Once complete, iron interfacing on the patch and cut out the motif using pinking shears, 4.5cm x 6cm. Sew on a white bow. With
right sides together, sew two panels of lilac cotton fabric, 10cm x 19cm (plus seam allowance) down one side seam. Turn a small hem along the top edge and slip stitch in place. -
With right sides together, sew up the second side seam and the bottom. Trim the seams and clip the corners. Iron the lavender cross-stitch patch onto the front of the bag, and sew on a pink heart button in the right corner. Stamp the words ‘With Love’ onto a scrap of white linen and cut out with pinking shears. Sew to the bottom of the bag with big, lilac stitches.
-
Turn the bag right side out and press. Fill the inside with dried lavender. Tie a 30cm length of white twill around the top. Punch a 2.5cm circle from lilac card and stamp with the letter ‘L’ (or another initial if the bag is a gift). Make a hole and set a pink eyelet, then thread a piece of raffia through and tie around the top of the bag.
