Love your life- love what you do. I love to make my own accessories and clothing. I take inspiration from all over and always try new things. I am a beauty product junkie and love to uncover deals at the dollar stores. My passion for sewing is a never ending and will always be in my heart

I Smell a Crafted Gift
I wanted a way to use up fabric scraps, trims, and pieces of jewelry; more or less a reduce, reuse, recycle product that it not hokey. I searched for ideas and came across ideas for sachets. I decided to use a printed burlap fabric for the outside. I used scrap muslin to create a pouch for the sachet (I chose a Lily of the Valley fragrance). I used a vintage earring and replaced the clip with a pin. I folded down the burlap fabric and closed the pouch with the once earring now pin. I decided to add a lace bow for a little more character. Since I am gifting this, I wanted the receiver to be able to change the sachet if they do not like the fragrance or if the scent dissipates.
