~SMALLER SACHETS FROM 2007~I'm barely getting this short little STRAWBERRY SACHET TUTORIAL in before the stroke of midnight! I've had a busy but FUN DAY! I just finished a huge project for my Shoppe and the rest of day I worked on the larger Sachets I've shown below. They'll be listed on either eBay or Etsy sometime tomorrow...
As I shared with you yesterday I've loved making these darling Sachets for many years now. More than anything (EXCEPT for working with a paint brush!) :) I love getting my hands into my growing stash vintage laces, baubles, ribbons and buttons! Making something pretty out of what looks to my hubby like a bunch of JUNK is the best therapy in the world.
Create! Create! Create! It does my heart good! :)

~ANOTHER VIEW - 2007~The two pictures above were taken during the summer when the sun was shining. The pics below were taken at night in the winter. What a difference. I'm no photographer...and I even have a better camera now!
~VTG PINK DAMASK AND RIBBON~The Tutorial (link above) includes the basic instructions for making one of these pretty Strawberry Sachets and the pattern for the larger 5" Sachet.
~MUCH LOVELIER IN PERSON~Use your imagination when it comes to embellishing the tops of your romantic keepsakes!

Trust me when I say there is no right or wrong way to make your fragrant pretty beautiful! I hope you have fun creating!
Blessings to you as you make something truly lovely with your own two hands...Rebecca

Those are so sweet. I have a baby dress that is satin with special trim that will make a lovely sachet. Thank you for the tutorial. I really enjoy all your lovely thoughts and darling creations.
Oh Rebecca!

Oh Rebecca, these are absolutely beautiful, I really must have a go at one of these.
Thanks for the tutorial!
Hi Rebecca!
Love the tutorial on the sachets and hope to use it soon. I've printed it out so I have it handy. I have so many stray linen napkins that I've adopted from different sales. What a great use for them. Thanks! They are absolutely gorgeous!!
Hugs from snowy Ohio, Sherry
Thank you. You are so generous!

Good morning Rebecca, thank you so much for sharing your directions on creating these wonderful Strawberry Sachets of yours. I tried making a couple some time ago, and they just didn't turn out quite so good :( I will definitely try creating one again using your instructions. Thank you again, warmest, Brenda
very pretty! I may have to make a couple for my mom and sister. They love sachets in their dresser drawers.
Rebecca, pretty, pretty!!!!! I love making these....you have inspired me.
Happy days!!!!!!!!

G'morn, sweet Rebecca ~
Well, you KNOW me, the QUEEN OF WRITING CHECKS!!!
What a beautiful tutorial, & you were so sweet to share it with everyone, Rebecca! What gorgeous sachets ... they could even be filled with rose petals?, maybe?
I still have Mother's voice echoing in my ears ... 'GET THE RIPPER, MARYDON!'
Have a beautiful day ~

Hello Rebecca... these are so very pretty. I cannot wait to receive my special ordered one from you... I know it will be most lovely... xoxo Julie Marie
Thank you Rebecca~you brought back memories of my mother making these years ago. Only then the country look was in and she used red with tiny white poke-a-dots. She loved making them! Of course I am like you, I like that girly romantic look and you got it perfect. They are all so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing sweet friend.
Hope you have a wonderful day!
Hugs, Pat
These will be perfect for my grand daughters Bat Mitzvah. She is having a tea party theme and these will be wonderful favors... Thank You so much. also a great way to use some of my lace, ribbon and floral stasth
Rebecca: Thank you for sharing all the tutorials with us. You are the nicest and kindness person to share your secrets with us. My mother is 90years old and loves to sew and I am always showing her your latest tteasures. Last year for the Iowa State Fair mother entered 2 categories: Christmas stockings and items handmade by a person over 80. The Christmas stocking(of course pink) won a blue ribbon(ya!) and her doll yo-yo quilt honorable mention. For over 45 years she has wanted to enter exhibits at the fair and your stockings inspired her so thank you so much. She now wants to make a pillow with a vintage postcard image and I tried my first print onto fabric yesterday and it turned out OK. I need to practice alot to make them as beautiful as you do. Thank you so much again for the many inspirations.

These are absolutely beautiful! I'm planning a garden party for May, and looking at these sachets, (as well as the rest of your lovely blog) just put me right in the mood to think about decorations and favors and such!
Rebecca, these are so gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing them with us. When you showed the ones you made for your daughter's wedding, I couldnt stop thinking about what a wonderful and beautiful idea it was! Love these!!
Big Hugs,

Hi Rebecca,
Could you please pass on your knowledge on how to upload a microsoft word document into a blog post like you have done here. I have a pattern on my blog for a pin cushion, but everyone has to email me for it because I do not know how to upload it to my blogpage.
I am hoping it is not to difficult to do! lol
Kind regards
Lynn B

Gwen

Hallo Rebecca,
I was very happy whem Dawn wrote about you and your beautifull blog, because it made me be able to visit you.
An ofcource I also wanted to download your wonderfull strawberries , but it seems that everytime I try, I only recieve the text....not any picture, and not the template???
Do you know what have happened? or do you think it is my computer?
Don`t usually have problems with,downloading.
I so hope to hear from you so I will be able to try my hand on your wonderfull strawberries.
Thankyou,-Dorthe
Oh gosh, girl friend! You are so talented! I love these little sachets! I can picture them in our bedroom! My house is more traditional, I think? But my bedrooom is all about romance, shabby, and these would be perfect in there! I'm gonna try making some once I finish my living room. :) You are such a sweet person, Missy! Thank you for sharing this tutorial with us.
