Aromatic pillow as a gift for a friend. How to make an aromatic pillow with your own hands
How do you find an interesting idea of making aromaticPillow on a gift to your girlfriend? Do you like it? Then let's start to work together and sew a wonderful pillowcase and pillow for fragrant herbs. Such a gift will give a unique scent of lavender, mint or lemon balm, and serve as an excellent decorative element of your girlfriend's interior. 
Having on hand a bright fabric, a typewriter and a fantasy you can make such a pleasant surprise for a couple of minutes with your own hands. Ready? 
So, let's start: measure out your piece of cloth a meter in size by fifty centimeters. We take the outer fabric, the one that will be for the pillowcase. The size of the pillow is planned to be 50X50 cm. 
Bend the fabric over the warp or weft yarn (independing on how the fabric stretches), and on a pattern or by hand draw a corner or equal oval corners of the future pillow. To make neat and perfectly smooth corners, you can use any home round object - a cup or a plate. 
Stitch the three sides of the cushion, leaving one side not stitched to insert the zipper. 
Then the product is turned out on the wrong side,and as shown in the figure, pins the pre-prepared secret or ordinary zipper with pins. Check the correctness of sewing lightning, then the product will turn out neat. 
We use the secret zipper to the sides of the cushion on the typewriter, using the foot for sewing lightning (if there is one). 
The edges of the wrong side you can sweep on the overlock orby a line zig-zag. So the pillow from the inside will not hurry. The pillowcase is ready. Now measure the size of the pillowcase, which can differ by a couple of centimeters from the original 50X50 cm, a couple of centimeters to the greater or lesser side. For these sizes make a sachet pillow for herbs. The square is stitched on three sides, turn out, and fill it with sintepon or other fluffy material, mixing with spicy dry herbs. After packing, the edge of the cushion is firmly sewn with a hidden seam by hand. You can add a couple of drops of lavender oil or rosemary oil instead of herbs. It will last long if the pillow is not washed. Aromatic oils can be bought at any pharmacy,and also there you can look for spicy herbs. Be sure to check the grass for hard sticks or pebbles. Well, and there is a decorative aromatic pillow for your girlfriend. We advise you to sew several such pillows in the same stylistic manner, but with different flavors. Your girlfriend must like such a gift!
