Item details

This pretty lavender bag is made from the corner of a lovely old tray cloth from a charity shop in York. Its vintage embroidery flowers are the perfect size for the front of a lavender bag. I have made the back from a different fragment of the same piece of linen, and filled it with dried lavender from Terrington in North Yorkshire. Since ancient times the lovely lavender has been used to help sleep, keep clothes smelling fresh, and shoo away pesky moths. Lovely to store in a drawer with a bridal gown, it would also make a nice present for a bridesmaid or as a gift for Mum.

This little bag measures 9 cm by 9 cm
Inside is nestling a muslin pillow filled with Yorkshire lavender.
There is a practical hook for popping onto a clothes hanger or hanging up in a bedroom, to keep the air sweet.
The front and back are made from different sections of vintage embroidery, and create a different design front and back.
The bag is finished off with my own embroidered name tag.
Just squeeze gently from time to time to refresh your lavender scent.
This listing is for one little lavender bag only.

I like to reuse as much as possible. Your little bag will be posted out to you wrapped in clean, recycled packaging.
It will be sent out as by Royal Mail 2nd class with proof of posting.

Hi there and welcome to my shop. Here you will find old embroideries, vintage fabrics and sparkling remnants made into something pretty and practical once again. I re-stock slowly but surely, so do keep coming back for a browse.
As I try to recycle where I can, your order will arrive wrapped in clean, recycled packaging from my hoard.
Thank you for visiting me at Folksy.

It's lovely to give a new lease of life to these care worn embroidered table linens. I find so many of them on my fabric hunts, and hate to think they could go to waste. They make the nicest small gifts, pretty, but practical, and can be treasured a little longer.
