Vintage Inspiration
Rescuing and reusing vintage linens to make my lavender filled sachets is what I do. The idea came one day when once again I arrived home from op shopping with a stash of stained and rust spotted vintage linens. Still beautiful but no longer used for their original purpose. I also have to credit my mum with the idea too as she long ago suggested it as a way of repurposing linens embroidered by my grandmother. Every piece I find is laundered and ironed ready for the next stage of cutting and sewing. For many years I have grown and harvested lavender for use in these beautiful sachets.
