Every year I pick and dry my lavender. And every year I sew different small bags. This year I decided to make small dresses.

By the way, I used the lavender from my Secret Sister from the Cuties Birthday too.
Because I am in my garden each day I have no time to sew, but this was a quick work for the evening, so I could fill and close the opening in the garden. I did 4 dresses in a 8x8 hoop.
This is my own design, send me a PM to ask for.

They are so cute. Now I know what else I could do with all the lavender I collect every morning taking my dog for a walk. Vielen Dank

Very cute design. I get about 1/2 bag of lavender each year from my one plant.

Such a fun way to make lavender bags! I always make rectangular ones - yours are beautiful!

These are so cute would love the pattern I make a lot of small items for Christmas presents for people in need and I think they would be lovely to add. I think I could also add rose petals etc. with oil drops added

Very cute wonderful idea. I would be interest to know how you dry your lavender, as I have several plants in my garden and would like to try it to make sachets myself.

I cut the most lavenderflowers (not all, the butterflys like this plants) with a short stem, about 8cm and put allways a hand full together with a ribbon. This i hang stems up on a dry place untill the flowers are dryed then I separate the flowers from the stems

Congratulations on this great design and they look really cute. I love the smell of Lavender and have a few bushes out back. I've never collected it to dry it though. Love Chris

Love this design, I grow lavender too and have been making plain regular bags to put it in. Would love this pattern also. Can you tell me where I can find it. Have a wedding shower coming up and would love to make some for gifts.

These are really cute - I wish I could find a way to make the aroma last for longer. It seems to fade so quickly.

I love Lavender, but have had no luck growing it here. They say it gets to hot for it to grow. I love the way you have packaged it in the little dresses, so feminine/Lillian

Thank you, I think lavender likes it hot, normally grows a lot of them in the south of France.

crafter2243 by crafter2243 27 Jul 2014

Where I live it gets over 100 F regularly in the sommer, yet there is a whole street with lavender bushes. Right now they are on their second bloom. Their are so many varieties.

Thank you, I like the smell of lavender and some flowers I dont reap, because the butterflys are loving the lavender too.

They look so lovely. Do the Lavender plants multiply? I saw some pots at the garden store recently and they were very expensive not sure if they would like the humidity here.

pldc by pldc 24 Jul 2014

yes they will multiply. I am not sure about the humidity either good luck

elemausi by elemausi 25 Jul 2014

i am living in Germany in a region with temperatures between 30°C in summer and -25°C in winter (not every year). My lavender is 20 years old from the 3 bushes (35cm diameter) I got round about 1 liter flowers after drying and pick. To multiply is difficult.
