Sewing is not my thing. I can sort of sew in a straight-ish line, but that’s about it. Because I’m such a poor seamstress, I am always looking for work-arounds that eliminate or at least reduce the amount of sewing needed on a given crafting project…
…and that’s just what I did with today’s set of simple sachets. Great for give giving. Crazy easy to make.
The trick: cloth napkins. They are already finished on all sides I don’t need to stress about sewing two identical squares of cloth. Phew. The only sewing required it to stitch together the napkins. I can handle that!
Sachets make for a great gift and with this approach, you really don’t need much time to create a set of personalized sachets. Gotta love that, right!?

Wow! What a lovely sachet! I feel like I can smell it from your photo. One question, how did you stamp after stitch closed? It looked hard for me to stamp when I already put some herb inside, because the surface won’t be flat.
Beautiful! Did you use a special kind of ink or did you use just any regular dye ink to stamp on the cloth napkins?
Amber, this is such a special gift! Beautiful! TFS!
Yeah, this is so being pinned. I do not really know how to sew and am looking for simple things I can try.
