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. One day 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. Since then I have made these little bags in a variety of colours. As the embroidery is all stitched by hand, no two bags will ever be the same!

50% off! If you're looking for ideas for an 'end of term gift', this is a perfect way to show some stripy appreciation for your favourite teacher!
Natural linen lavender bag with a hand-appliqued stripy jug motif with the words ‘Best Teacher’. The jug has been created from hand-cut strips of fabric which have been stitched together to give a stripy effect. I have then added hand-embroidered flowers to the design using embroidery silks and the finishing touch is a co-ordinating vintage style striped ribbon. The bag is filled with new polyester wadding and a goodly handful of English lavender picked from my own garden in Norfolk.
This listing is for a ready made up lavender bag in a green and white striped jug design. The pink version is available to buy separately.
Measures 10cm x 7cm
Your lavender bag will be wrapped in tissue paper and sent by Royal Mail 1st class post.
