Sewing expert Linda Lee uses alternating colors of silk organza and potpourri to create fragrant gift sachets. Materials: Silk organza
Metallic silk organza
Scissors
Iron
Chalk
Chalk marker
Cable-twisted rayon thread
Straight pins
- Begin by tearing the silk organza into two square pieces.
- Tear the metallic silk organza into two smaller squares.
- Iron the edges of all pieces.
- Stack the smaller squares onto the larger squares.
- Use a chalk marker and chalk to draw a vertical line down the center of the smaller silk organza square.
- Use the chalk marker (figure A) to draw a horizontal line crossing the vertical one. Brush away chalk lines.
- Tie a knot -- which will become part of the design -- in the end of rayon thread.
- Handstitch vertical and horizontal lines (figure B) on metallic square. Leave edges unsewn.
- Fill each of the four pockets that have been created with potpourri (figure C).
- Tip: Pin the pockets shut after filling to hold them closed while sewing edges. Sew edges closed.
