Potpourri bags: Sunflowers (3)

Three ready-made potpourri bags to stitch in counted cross stitch with sunflowers and small blue flowers: the motif changes slightly from one bag to the next, so the set matches without being repetitive. Aida is an easy fabric to count, and the chart is printed with large squares, so it stays readable even for newer stitchers.

Only the front needs stitching: the bags are already sewn and the closing ribbons are included, so once the embroidery is done you simply fill them with dried flowers or lavender. A small hoop and a pair of embroidery scissors make the work easier. Hang them in the wardrobe, tuck them into a drawer, or give them as small gifts.
