Now the time to start thinking of small gifts that you can make and have on hand to give a friend, co-worker, neighbor or family. These little sachets are quick and easy to make.
- Using (2) 5" pieces of fabric, cut into circles. I use pinking shears to cut them out.
- With wrong sides together, gather stitch together around the edges, leaving 1/2 to 1" from the edge.
- 1" from the beginning stitch, stop and stuff with lavender and fiber fill.
- Finish the the last stitch and gather up the fabric, so it looks like a tart.
- Knot and fasthen off.
FYI: The scent of Lavender has been shown to slash joint pain, lowers anxiety and heart rate. It's main compound, linalool, blocks a stress neurotransmitter in the brain, relaxing constricted blood vessels and numbing pain receptors.Put a few drops of lavender oil on a cottonball to sniff, or add to bath water.
