Description of work
1.First, smooth out the cotton fabric scraps with a hot iron, after which you can start making the sachet. First, take a colored scrap and draw a circle with a diameter of 12 centimeters on the back side. You can do this with a compass or trace, for example, a saucer, or something else of the desired shape. Cut out the first round part of the sachet doll's body.2.Next, take a needle with a thread of a matching color and pull it around the edge of our piece. We try to make the stitches thick and not too large.3. Fill the resulting bag with coarse sea salt, also drip a few drops of natural lavender oil into it and add dried sprigs of lavender flowers.4. We pull the bag together and sew its edges securely, thus we get a fragrant body of a sachet doll.5. Now take a white cotton rag, draw an even circle on it, 8 centimeters in diameter, and cut it out as well. This detail will later turn into the doll's head.6.According to the principle we are already familiar with, we tighten the circle along the outer edge from the back side and fill it from the inside with airy padding polyester, which will help give the part the desired shape and volume. You can also use regular cotton wool and other fillers, often used in the manufacture of soft toys, for stuffing.7. We finally pull the fabric together and secure the thread, as a result of which we have the doll’s head.8. Next, we sew together the body and head of the sachet doll.9. Using a thin black thread, embroider the doll's eyes. You can also sew on two small beads or simply draw the eyes with a black felt-tip pen.10. Using red thread, embroider a small, slightly smiling mouth.11.After that, we need to make the hair of our doll. To do this, take any suitable wool or acrylic yarn, wind it on any suitable flat object, for example, a notebook or book, 12-15 centimeters wide. And then pull it together and get a blank like this.12. We apply the hair from the threads to the head and sew them on, grabbing several threads with stitches. We make the seam with small, dense stitches along the center of the doll's head in the direction from the forehead to the back of the head.13.Next, we do the doll's hair. To do this, we take a thin satin ribbon and tie a ponytail on one side, and then on the other. From the ribbon, we form beautiful little bows.14. This is the fragrant sachet doll we have, all that remains is to add just a few touches to it.15. To make our doll look elegant, take a piece of suitable thin lace, 5-7 centimeters long, and gather it with a thread.16. Sew the gathered lace in the idea of a collar on the doll's neck, thereby masking all unnecessary seams. You can also decorate the doll with small beads, a scarf and other decorative elements.17.Our DIY fragrant sachet is ready! All that's left is to find a worthy place for it in your home, and if you sew a loop to the doll's head, you can hang it, even over the baby's crib. The scent of lavender is calming and inspires a sweet dream.
