Wardrobe Sachets

February 5, 2017 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 4 Comments

Cross stitch monogram wardrobe sachets

I love the French tradition to embroider monograms on household linens. Such a simple and classic touch. I haven’t done much cross stitch in recent years but I used to do a lot of cross stitching when my kids were small. Cross stitch monograms are fairly quick to stitch. These monograms are from vintage cross stitch charts by French haberdasher,  Sajou – I love the style of old copperplate lettering. You can find the instructions in the book,  Maison Sajou Sewing Book: 20 Projects from the famous French Haberdashery. The classic cross stitch on linen is perfect paired with sweet floral lawn.

I stitched these monograms on 25 count Dublin Linen. The spaced linen is fairly easy to cross stitch using two strands of Cosmo embroidery floss.

My Cosmo embroidery hoops were the perfect match!  I love the blues and greens – so delicate and pretty.

The second sachet was in the mauve colourway.

These little sachets are filled with lavender and make sweet gifts. They are perfectly sized to place in your wardrobe to keep your clothing smelling fresh. I love the scent of lavender.

    Lovely and so inspiring. I recently made monograms from Les Brodeuses Parisiennes’ ABC linge ancien and I just love it.

    I recently made some lavender sachets as well as covered coat hangers-from fabric saved from my brother’s wedding! My sister had been a bridesmaid in 1970 and had made her dress from pink taffeta. The leftover fabric had been stored away all this time. When she found it, I got to create something fun!

I had fun sewing this Valentine's inspired Heart C I had fun sewing this Valentine's inspired Heart Clasp Purse using a kit from @zakkaworkshop . I had the perfect heart fabric in my stash.  The kit comes with full sized templates, hardware ( clasp and paper string), and lots of step by step instructions and photos to guide you through the process. It has been a while since I have made a clasp purse but it was fairly straightforward.
