Potpourri bags: Autumn times

Three little bags to stitch in counted cross stitch, with outlines worked in back stitch, for scenting wardrobes and drawers with lavender or potpourri: a sunflower, a red spotted mushroom and a group of pumpkins with sunflowers, each closed with a green ribbon. The bags come ready made, so you stitch straight onto the front and there is no sewing to do.

The small format and the large-square chart make them manageable even with little experience, and each one works up in a couple of evenings. The potpourri is not included: once the stitching is finished, simply fill the bags with dried flowers or herbs. A small frame or hoop makes the work easier to hold.
