Item details
Ever since I was a child, I always associate picking lavender with summer, in the same way as I think of strawberries and cream or sandcastles on the beach. I can clearly remember helping to strip the tiny flowers off the stalks, thinking what a fiddly job it was, and can keenly remember the smell of lavender in the house for hours afterwards. Making lavender bags today carries on the same tradition and the lavender fragrance in the winter is a gorgeous reminder of summer days.
I've collected blue and white striped Cornishware pottery for at least twenty years since I first picked up a little jug at a car boot sale. The jug lives on my dresser and is filled with flowers during the summer months. I was looking for a gift idea for a friend so on a rainy afternoon I decided to try to replicate the jug in fabric and add a message. As the embroidery is all stitched by hand no two bags will ever be the same!

Full description
Natural linen lavender bag with an appliqued jug motif available to be personalised with wording of your choice. The jug has been created from hand-cut strips of blue and white fabric and stitched together, and then I have added hand-embroidered flowers to the design using embroidery silks. The finishing touch is a blue and cream gingham vintage style ribbon for hanging in your wardrobe, or simply pop in a drawer to fragrance your clothes. Filled with new polyester wadding and a goodly handful of English lavender picked from my own garden in Norfolk. Measures 10cm x 7cm
This design is also available in pink, yellow, red or orange stripes. Simply state your colour choice at the checkout.
This design is available with your own personalised message and you can choose to have wording on either one or two of the white stripes up to a maximum of 10 characters per stripe. Simply add your text in the box at the checkout.
NB I sew each of these lavender bags to order so please allow up to 14 days to complete.
Makes an ideal Birthday, Mother's Day or house-warming gift or simply send to someone to let them know you're thinking of them. If you would like me to add a hand-written note and send it on your behalf, just message me to let me know.
Your lavender bag will be wrapped in tissue paper and sent by Royal Mail 1st class post.
Designed by Rowan Harris-Bates in Norfolk
