Sachet Project

Material:
Fabric for Sachet such as silk, satin or taffeta
Ruffled trim for edging
Antique or other Lace for Frame Design
Tulle or Organza for backing
Tiny pearl beads and sequins

Embroider the Petite Rose Square Frame design on your sachet fabric following 
the directions included on the color chart.  Use a piece of antique lace or other 
lace as the frame.  Add whatever lettering you wish to the center of the design 
before removing the fabric from the hoop.

Remove the fabric from the hoop and trim around the frame approximately . 
This is your sachet front.  Cut another piece of sachet fabric the same size as 
this embroidered fabric square.  This is your sachet back. 

Cut two squares of tulle (or organza) 1 wider than the sachet back.  Fold these 
two rectangles of tulle in half and press.  Place the tulle pieces, one on top of 
each ---folded edges in the middle and overlapping each other--- on the right side 
of the sachet back.  Machine baste  around the outside edges.

Place the ruffled trim around the frame design on the sachet front, right sides 
together, and stitch in place.  Sew about 3/16 of an inch away from the satin 
stitching on the frame.  It helps to now hand tack the ruffled trim down to the face 
of the sachet so that it will not be caught in the seam when you attach the back.

Place the tulle/sachet back on top of the sachet embroidered front, right sides 
together.  Pin in place, and using a zipper foot, stitch as close as possible beside 
the satin stitching all the way around the frame, leaving about 2 open on one 
side for turning.

Turn right side out and check to be sure you did not catch any ruffled trim in your 
seam.  If not, turn back inside out and trim all seams to  seam allowance.  
Turn right side out again and hand stitch the opening shut.

You can place lavender heads, rose petals or other potpourri inside the opening 
on the back of the sachet.  Or, you can make a little sack of potpourri using a bit 
of tulle or organza to slip inside the opening.

Stitch sequins or beads on the front as desired.
