Sensational Sachets: Sewing Scented Treasures
Try your hand at these intimate, creative sachets. The projects are all simple scented packages, small enough to fit in your hand. Use them to freshen a dresser drawer or bedding, pin them on clothing, or decorate soft furnishings. They're easy to make -- the fabrics chosen feature natural fibers in a luscious array of colors and textures that let scents breathe, and the sewing techniques couldn't be simpler. Full-color photos will inspire you to pick a project, and the instructions clearly explain both how to sew and how to make your own scents from dried flowers, herbs, spices, aromatic oils. The 30 projects feature both beautiful ideas from the past and contemporary interpretations. The magic lies in blending the package you sew with the scent you select, and here your choices are endless.

Great Book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book has a lot of great ideas for sachets. This is a sewing book and basically she gives you various shapes (made of fabric) to hold potpourri. I was impressed with all the various shapes of her sachets. She does include patterns for some of the shapes. I plan to transform some of these shapes into pincushions. Instead of potpourri, I will stuff them and violia!!!! A pincushion!
beautiful sachets!

Wonderful ideas for different styles and shapes for sachets. Most are pretty ornate but the pictures help with their assembly. If you're looking for the potpourri though you need to find another book since this one only has one page at the back that talks to potpourri recipes.
Absolutely gorgeous sachets! Great potpourri recipes.

The entire book is filled with beautiful and easy-to-make sachets. They are great as gifts and don't take any time to make. Terrific shower presents! Each sachet is beautifully designed for those who like fine things. The book itself would be great present for your sewing friends.
