And relax ...

It's not obvious from the pictures, but each of these hexagons comprises two pieces of fabric stitched together and filled with dried lavender. The kilo hasn't gone down by much yet, but partly because of the scent from the open bag, making them (they are handsewn) is a most relaxing pastime.

Gorgeous fabric, will you fill china bowls with them?
Far too pretty to be hidden in draws :)

They would be nice in a bowl (except they'd get dusty). Thanks for the idea, Kim!

These could make the centre for an incredible little cushion to sniff and daydream by. It is lazy me again; my cushion version is to fill a small white on white, embroidered pillow case (baby's size) which dates from my great-grandmother--part of a family linens stash I inherited. I did this three years ago and there has been no need to refill it as it still faintly scents the entire bedroom.

I am made breathless by your skill.
