Mother's Day Gifts you can Sew....
A Scented Victorian
Silhouette Sachet Pillow
 |
 |
You can make this silhouette
sachet with scraps of fabric lying around the house.
Gather up some lace, black fabric,
wonder-under or some type of Heat Bond, Victorian looking fabric, and
stuffing.
Find a photo of your mom and trace the side
view to make a silhouette, or just use a sketch of your own, or find
something on the internet.
Cut your Victorian fabric into two squares
about the size you would like your sachet. I cut mine into a 7"
square. |
 |
Following the manufacturers
guidelines on the heat bond iron the heat bond on the ugly side of the
black fabric.
Place your silhouette on top of the black
fabric and very carefully cut out the silhouette. |
 |
Remove the backing of the heat
bond. Very carefully press the silhouette onto the pretty side of
one of the Victorian pieces of fabric. |
 |
Pin lace to the pretty side of
the top of your pillow as shown in the photo. Notice the lace is
facing IN. When you turn your pillow pretty side out after sewing
it, THEN your lace will be on the outside. |
 |
Pin your pillow back pretty
side down onto the top piece of pillow, as shown in the photo.
Make an area where you would like to leave a
4" opening. |
 |
Stitch around the pillow using
the pressure foot as your guide. DON'T forget to leave an opening.
Trim seams and clip corners as shown in the
photo. |
 |
Turn you sachet pretty side
out through the opening. Poke out the corners with a pencil.
Stuff your pillow. Hand stitch the opening
closed.
Spray your sachet with your mom's favorite
scent. |
 |
There...Your mom will enjoy
and cherish her Victorian silhouette sachet you made just for her! |
