Every year I pick and dry my lavender. And every year I sew different small bags. This year I decided to make small dresses.
By the way, I used the lavender from my Secret Sister from the Cuties Birthday too.
Because I am in my garden each day I have no time to sew, but this was a quick work for the evening, so I could fill and close the opening in the garden. I did 4 dresses in a 8x8 hoop.
This is my own design, send me a PM to ask for.

They look so lovely. Do the Lavender plants multiply? I saw some pots at the garden store recently and they were very expensive not sure if they would like the humidity here.
2 comments
yes they will multiply. I am not sure about the humidity either good luck
i am living in Germany in a region with temperatures between 30°C in summer and -25°C in winter (not every year). My lavender is 20 years old from the 3 bushes (35cm diameter) I got round about 1 liter flowers after drying and pick. To multiply is difficult.

They are lovely & it is wonderful that you reap what you sew. ~hugs~

She reaps, then she sews.
I sew, then I rip.
I sew, then I rip.
LOL, Betsy!
Thank you, I like the smell of lavender and some flowers I dont reap, because the butterflys are loving the lavender too.

I love Lavender, but have had no luck growing it here. They say it gets to hot for it to grow. I love the way you have packaged it in the little dresses, so feminine/Lillian

Thank you, I think lavender likes it hot, normally grows a lot of them in the south of France.
Where I live it gets over 100 F regularly in the sommer, yet there is a whole street with lavender bushes. Right now they are on their second bloom. Their are so many varieties.

These are really cute - I wish I could find a way to make the aroma last for longer. It seems to fade so quickly.

I bought some lavender oil and once the smell is gone I add a drop

Love this design, I grow lavender too and have been making plain regular bags to put it in. Would love this pattern also. Can you tell me where I can find it. Have a wedding shower coming up and would love to make some for gifts.

Congratulations on this great design and they look really cute. I love the smell of Lavender and have a few bushes out back. I've never collected it to dry it though. Love Chris

Very cute wonderful idea. I would be interest to know how you dry your lavender, as I have several plants in my garden and would like to try it to make sachets myself.

I cut the most lavenderflowers (not all, the butterflys like this plants) with a short stem, about 8cm and put allways a hand full together with a ribbon. This i hang stems up on a dry place untill the flowers are dryed then I separate the flowers from the stems

These are so cute would love the pattern I make a lot of small items for Christmas presents for people in need and I think they would be lovely to add. I think I could also add rose petals etc. with oil drops added
