The lace design used in this project is lgl06a from Jenny’s Lace Glorious Lace design CD (remember to mirror the design for the back of the sachet). You will need two 8inch squares of a sheer fabric or tulle to embroider on – even though this is a stand alone design you will need the backing fabric so the lavender doesn’t escape. With each design, two layers of Dissolve Magic water soluble stabilizer are used in the hoop along with the sheer fabric.
Embroider the two lace designs (remembering that it is mirrored for the back). Lie your work flat to dry, and then press it (on the wrong side) over a towel. Use small sharp scissors to carefully cut around the edge of each piece of lace, then, with wrong side’s together and using thread in the needle and bobbin that matches the lace, sew a small straight stitch around the outside edge of the lace to make a pocket. Leave a small opening at the top to put the lavender in, and then machine-stitch the opening closed, catching the cut ends of a looped twisted cord or ribbon to act as a hanger.
Add the finishing touch to these dainty wonders with heat-activated crystals applied with a heating wand, and by adding a tassel made with Jenny’s Tassel and Fringe maker, then sit back and admire your work. |
