I've been dismantling various linen garments from second hand stores, to get bits of fabric that I can use for other purposes. Being a seamstress myself, I feel somewhat weird about cutting off a carefully crafted collar on a blouse, just so I can have the bits of fabric below it. Not being a vandal by nature, this gives me pause. But I have a vision of something else that's hidden in the fabric, that to be fair, got its chance to be a blouse for who knows how long. Now it's a pouch for dried lavender and a canvas to practice my rusty embroidery skills. I totally stole this idea from Pinterest. I must confess. I forgot how much I like embroidery. I used to be a prodigious creator of cross stitched projects. Though I never could master the French Knot.  EVER. But lucky for me and the lavender, I found directions for something called a Colonial Knot, which works EVERY time! Those Colonists knew their needlework.  :-) Excuse me while I go dismember some more perfectly good clothing...
