Each bag takes around 10g of lavender and you will need ribbon to tie them up. Lavender bags are good to put in your clothes drawers to make your clothes smell nice but also to protect from moths!
1. Cut your fabric into a rectangle that is 10cm wide by about 30cm long.
2. Overlock or zigzag stitch the ends of your fabric and then hem either end.
3. Fold your fabric in half, press it and then pin the sides together.
4. Sew each side to a 1cm seam allowance and then zig zag stitch. Trim the remaining fabric. Alternatively you can overlock the sides together .
5. Turn your pouch inside out and push the corners out with a wooden stick or suchlike to create crisp corners you may have to trim the fabric in the corners.
