Sew Happy Lavender bag / Lavender sachet Collection


I've been making lavender sachets and lavender bags. Each lavender bag is stamped with a beautiful shabby chic design, and embellished with lace trim.


These are very romantic, and very pretty. You can hang in a wardrobe, to provide a lovely scent, or keep on display on a hook. They each have a jute loop.


Much of the lace I sourced in France. Each sachet contains a generous amount of lavender bought from my local organic lavender farm. The backs are a fine muslin showing off the lavender, but also ensuring the scent is released easily.


A gentle squeeze releases a wonderful lavender scent.

£5.50 within the UK - includes packing and postage. £7 to anywhere within the EU.

Lavender sachets, appliqued houses. Very cute!


Here's a colourful selection of appliqued house lavender sachets, generously filled with organic lavender from my local farm.


Each with three windows and a door. Very individual, very 'not on the high street'. I can add a button doorknob if wanted...


Various colour combinations available.
These are great fun to make, and I hope you like them. ;-)

Unique organic lavender sachets - patched and embellished with sequins


I had a request for some purple themed items - purple is everywhere this season. For some time, I've had some absolutely gorgeous Eastern silk in a range of lush colours, and I remembered that purple was one of those colours. I love challenges and this was certainly a challenge, as I wanted to do something a little different to the sachets I've seen everywhere. I also wanted them to be that little bit extra special and eye catching, as deserves anything not found on the high street.


Looking through my fabrics, I also remembered the Cath Kidston purple paisley, and a purple check I picked up a while back. So I got playing... and these lavender sachets are the result. Each has been patched from the three fabrics. Some are backed with the check and some with the Cath Kidston paisley. Each has a gorgeous sequinned embellishment.


I had intended these to be pretty little drawer sachets, but they also pleaded to be hang-able, so I added a cute little gingham ribbon.



They are generously filled with lavender from my local lavender farm, one of the country's few certified organic lavender farms. I'm not always an organic addict, but I do believe lavender should be farmed organically, as it's such a magnet for bees, and after harvest, for us, so I do believe it's worth the slightly higher cost. Take a deep smell of this lavender and you know you aren't breathing in any peculiar chemicals. They measure 12 cm x 7 cm (4 1/2 in x 2 3/4 in).

Lavender drawer sachets ... Great fun!


Pineapples, pears, apples, and cherries abound on this wonderful fruit fabric print. I love this fabric because it makes me laugh. I've made it up into little lavender drawer sachets. My family love these, so I'm going to be using it to make more little things... watch this space!


Each sachet has a filling of lavender, sourced from my local organic lavender farm.


I've also added my Sew Happy label, so they could be hung on a wall to delicately fragrance a bathroom when squeezed... and provide a bit of a fun talking point.


Or hang one on a wardrobe door:


Or pop one in a drawer to make you smile when you take something out.
They are all backed with a cheerful, contrasting blue and white stripe fabric.



I chose it because it gave me lovely echoes of memories of beach huts and towels.


Each sachet is approx 14 cm x 11 cm (or 5 1/2 in x 4 1/4 in)



I have four available at the moment.
Please let me know if you have a preference which one you prefer.
