Fill your home with the warm and sweet memories of summer fragrances with this fragrant lavender pillow made from gorgeous vintage fabrics!
We will need three different size material patches: a backing-patch of beige linen measuring 14x14cm, a striped patch of cotton material 7x14cm and a flowery cotton patch measuring 14x11cm in size.
Place the two front patches face to face and sew together. Cut along the seam allowance with a pinking shears, to prevent the fabric from fraying
Press the seam open and turn the patch over facing you. Cut two lengths of lace, both a little wider than the patch, so you can fold these in between the front and back layers later. Attach them by sewing one seam straight across all layers.
Turn both the front and back piece face down and fold in one centimetre all the way around. Iron flat and don`t forget to fold in the lace bits as well. Place the two pieces back to back on top of each other. Check that they are fully aligned and of the same size then pin them in place. Sew almost all the way around, leave a small gap to fill the pillow with dried Lavender, then sew the whole thing closed.
Finally finish off by attaching a pretty vintage glass button and a white plastic flower by hand. Beautiful-well done!
Make several of these to fill your entire home with wonderful fragrance, or to give as much appreciated presents!
