How to Sew a Lavender Bag

November 29, 2024 By A Spoonful of Sugar - Leave a Comment

I have a quick tutorial for a tree lavender bag. These little treats are perfect to sew from your stash fabrics and are ideal little gifts for friends and family. They can be placed in wardrobes, linen closets, drawers, luggage, gym bags, and bathrooms. They bring a touch of freshness to many areas of your home.

If you would like to see a video of how these are made, check out my instagram reel.

🌿 Let’s Sew a Lavender Tree Bag! 🌿

Quick, easy, and perfect for using up those fabric scraps! This delightful Tree Lavender Bag is made from a foundation paper pieced block and makes a wonderful gift. 🎁✨

You Will Need:

  • Forest Fantasy Tree Block (unfinished 3 ½ x 5 inches)
  • Backing fabric (3 ½ x 5 inches)
  • Dried lavender buds (approx. 3 tablespoons)

Method:

  1. Pin the tree block to the backing fabric with right sides facing and edges aligned.
  2. Sew around the outside using a ¼ inch seam allowance, leaving a 2 ½ inch gap along one long side.
  3. Clip the corners and turn right side out through the gap.
  4. Fill with lavender.
  5. Hand stitch the opening closed.

Makes a small lavender bag measuring 3 x 4 ½ inches.

Perfect as a stocking stuffer or paired with a hand towel or face mask for a lovely scented gift. Ideal for placing in your wardrobe or cupboard to keep your clothes smelling wonderful. 🌸✨ Check out our instagram reel for a video showing the construction of a lavender bag. You can find the Forest Fantasy Tree Block pattern in our Pattern store.

If you are giving the gift of self-care, pair it with a lavender scented, weighted eye mask. You can find the Relaxation Eye Mask pattern here.
