This pretty sachet has been handcrafted from two vintage handkerchiefs. The first is white cotton with light blue shadow embroidery and a polka dot embroidered edge. Underneath is a second handkerchief, also white cotton, with variegated white, pink, and blue crocheted edging. Both are layered over a vintage light blue and white striped cotton fabric that is also used for the back. The layers are secured by a light blue and pink vintage button stack. It measures approximately 4.5 inches square.

Each of my sachets is filled with a mixture of French lavender buds and buckwheat hulls—the lavender for it's intense scent and the buckwheat for lightness (lavender can be expensive and heavy for shipping;  using buckwheat helps offset both these issues). Customers have told me that the scent lasts for years and years; just give them a squeeze to refresh the scent!

Use your sachet in your linen cupboard to repel moths but it's really too pretty to hide away. Lavender is renowned as a sleep aid so keep one on your bedside table for those nights when you're having trouble falling asleep.
