Sweet-smelling baby booties

Ever wonder what to do with

those sweet baby booties

you have saved all these years?

I turned some into lavender sachets

and it was so easy to do.

First, cut a small circle out of any

lightweight white material,

like a sheet, hankie or scrap fabric.

I sewed a basting stitch around the circle,

filled it with a few teaspoons of dried lavender

and then pulled the thread tight to close it up.

If you aren't handy with a needle and thread,

just tie off the top with string or thread

to hold the lavender inside.

Next, I placed the little packet inside the booty

and filled it the rest of the way with fiberfill.

The booty tops were sewn closed by hand
then I added bits of lace, vintage buttons
and, as the finishing touch, a sprig of lavender.
