Lavender sachet pillow
Sachets smell so amazing sometimes, and others, they are simply overwhelming to the senses. This particular sachet pillow has the potential to be too much, so an easy way to limit the scent is to cut the filling lavender with rice.
In other words, sew your simple pillow (this is such an easy pattern that I really do not need to give specific instructions, unless really needed), and fill 2/3 with rice and 1/3 with lavender blooms. When you wish to refresh the lavender scent, toss it in the microwave for a very short period of time. Use care when heating.
This makes a fantastic gift for so many different occasions.
Another thought about these pillows: the scent does not need to be limited to lavender. I have made these with cloves, cinnamon sticks, rosemary and even sage (I love the smell of sage. It reminds me of thanksgiving dinners at Grandma’s house). Pick your favorite spice and use them in place of lavender.
One of the wildest scents I have used is lemon verbena and to this day, I still keep that pillow handy for my naps as I could not bring myself to give away such an incredible smell. Experiment a little and I guarantee that your recipient will love this pillow!
