Potpourri bags: Field Flowers

Three ready made-up Aida bags to stitch in cross stitch, each with its own little bunch of field flowers: a poppy, cornflowers and a sunflower, finished with ladybirds and butterflies worked in back stitch. The bags come semi pre-finished, with ribbon to tie them: you stitch the front only and the piece is done, with no sewing up to tackle.

The potpourri or lavender to fill them is not included: add your own dried scented flowers and hang the bags in the wardrobe or tuck them among the linen. A small pair of scissors is handy while you stitch; a hoop is not really needed on such a small area. They also make a quick gift, finished in a few evenings.
