Sachets

 Here are some pic's for this simple, quick and adorably cute gift. I cut these from scraps, I stuff with fiberfill, rice, potpourri. I put potpourri in with the fiberfill, I use whole cloves too. You can stuff with Fiberfill and attach a tiny bag made from sheer scrap material with the "smell good" in it, tied with thin thin ribbon and stitched to these (I do that a lot so the "smell Good" can be changed readily). These can be strung together or used separately in drawers. The larger ones filled with rice make excellent hand warmers after a day throwing snow balls or any other winter activity.I attach satin ribbon to these, about 10" long and my gkids use as bookmarks.

Cut a template of any size in the shape of a heart. About 3.5" at widest part and abt 3" long or less work best. I use flannel for these, you'll want to use a fabric that breathes so the smell can get out.

Here are some cut and not yet sewn. After cutting, pin right sides together and stitch on machine using presser foot edge as guide. Leave a 1/2 " opening on one side. Clip point on heart and top indentation, turn and press. Here's a closer pic of cut but unsewn hearts.

Stuff with Fiberfill, rice or whatnot and hand stitch opening closed. I haven't attached ribbon garnishments yet, however, I like to stitch through the center and pull thread tightly several time to make indentation, I just like that look sometimes. And...here ya go!

Since I make my kids flannel PJ bottoms, rag quilts, pillow cases (and yes, sometimes boxers for the guys), how cute is it to include some of these? There are some cute, cute, flannel prints out there and you don't even have to stick to flannel. Have fun, smell great, and create!

Here is a three stack tied with ribbon...the middle one is Minky on one side, flannel the other...

Here they are tied with ribbon to hang...
