I love the scent of lavender. I have planted lavender plants on either side of my porch just so I can be welcomed home to it’s relaxing scent. I harvest it during the summer so I can use it in my homemade soap. In fact my lavender sage soap is one of my best sellers. I thought pincushions would be another way to combine two loves; scrap busting and the scent of lavender. So I created a lavender scented pincushion tutorial.
This a ha moment, will bring that relaxing scent to my sewing room? I do use the lavender scented Best Press. It makes ironing almost fun. My bits bin is overflowing at the moment. (When is it not overflow?) I know they make scented rice heating bags. Why not make some scented pincushions. Bring a little more lavender in my life and use up a few bits from my scrap bin. Win! Win!
I measured out 6 cuts of crushed walnuts. Added 15 drops of lavender essential oil. Took a bunch of last summer’s harvested lavender and removed the heads. Then stirred everything up.
While the essential oil saturated the walnut shells, I dove into my bits bin and made a bunch of simple blocks; stars, coins, flying geese, and churn dashes. Cut matching backs from my scrap bins.
Sewed around them leaving a small opening so I could feel them with the heavenly smelling walnut shells.
Next I turned them right side out and filled each one up. Then I sewed up the little opening. Now I have a pretty basket of sweet smelling pincushions. Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm! I’m in heaven. Join my Facebook group to share your projects. Thanks!
