I’m getting ready for a Fall pumpkin themed baby shower and these little DIY lavender sachets will be the party favors. Small yet powerful, the lavender scent is just perfect for any drawer or closet.

Wrap up the sachets in clear cellophane for two reasons: 1) It makes a pretty gift packet and 2) Because we know any pregnant woman has an extremely sensitive sense of smell and we don’t want the mommy-to-be feeling sick at her own party!

Below are the steps to making these DIY lavender sachet party favors.

Supplies:

fabric (cotton or other breathable fabric is best)
sewing machine
thread
grosgrain ribbon
jute string
scissors
rotary cutter
self healing mat
clear quilting ruler
loose lavender
yarn needle
clear cellophane
stickers / ribbon or other wrapping embellishments

Step 1: Cut fabric into 4″ squares using a rotary cutter, quilting ruler and self healing mat. Press one edge to back 1/4″.

Step 2: Place the right sides together and sew front to back on 3 edges leaving pressed edge open.
