Instructions
Note that each sachet uses
two thicknesses of the napkin with all the plies attached. It’s the
layers that give the
paper napkin more durability. Determine where you want the
pattern/design on each sachet and decide the size you want. Cut out
about ½” larger than finished sachet. Line up edges, place wrong
sides together and stitch a ¼” seam on three sides.
Fill the sachet’s unstitched open
end with the lavender and tap down.
Stitch the last edge up and
trim the edges to about ¼”
Small trims and trinkets can
also be glued to the top of the sachet.
Heidi’s Designer Tip:
I stitched the edges using a sewing machine. I like the clean
look of the stitches and how quickly you can sew up a whole batch of
these. If you don’t sew, you can glue the edges together with
Aleene’s No Sew Glue. Remember though that you need to glue all the
layers together!
