Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Sew4Home shows how to make smell-good lavender sachets. They’re quick and easy to sew up (the author sewed up 4 of them in just 90 minutes), and they make nice gifts. They’re also a good way to use up some of your smaller pieces of fabric. Two 6 1/2″ squares of fabric will make one sachet. If your scraps are smaller than that, you could always piece them together to make the squares. Go to Sew4Home for the how-to.
