Sachet Cover:
(1)
Pre-wash
unbleached

Cut
or tear muslin to a three inch by four inch rectangle. Spray
muslin with Mini Mister containing water followed by Denim
Color Wash. Rinse to remove excess color until
fabric is a very pale blue. Let dry and iron flat.
(3)
To

a photo transfer on fabric, use foam brush to paint a coat
of Perfect Fabric Medium directly onto the front of the color
photocopy image. Place image face down onto
center
of pale blue fabric scrap. Burnish the image
onto
the muslin with brayer. Dry with Craft Tool or
iron
on the back of the fabric.

Spray
transfer with Mini Mister containing water and begin to remove
the paper revealing the image transfer. Continue

(5)
Use
a
Perfect Pearls detail brush to add touches of Blush Perfect
Pearls
to the skin tones of the transferred image.
(6)
Working on the Non-Stick Craft Sheet, use water
brush to mix Blue Patina Perfect Pearls with Perfect Fabric
Medium and water to create a diluted, translucent glaze. Brush
the glaze over the image to seal and protect the image transfer. Allow
to dry.

Cut
one-four
inch by seven inch rectangle of muslin.

Spray
muslin
with Mini Mister containing water followed by Denim Color

Perfect
Medium Stamp Pad and stamp onto dyed muslin. Use
Cosmetic
Brush to brush on Forever Blue Perfect Pearls over the

Piece
the
three dyed muslin scraps together to form a patchwork pattern
overlapping as desired. Pin the right sides
together
and machine sew each patch together. Iron the
seams
flat on the back.
(12)
Use
a
sewing machine to sew the photo transfer to the center of
the patchwork muslin.
(13)
Hand-sew
cream
seed beads in a border around the photo transfer block using
gold metallic thread. Using metallic thread and
colored
seed beads hand-sew accents around the red and blue stamped
and painted patches. This will complete your
sachet
top.
Completing
the
Sachet:
(14)
Cut
one six inch by seven inch rectangle of muslin. Spray
the muslin with Mini Mister containing water followed by Denim
and Eggplant Color Wash. Rinse to remove excess color. Let
dry and iron flat. Set aside.
(15)
Cut
one six inch by seven inch rectangle of white tulle
and one six inch by seven inch rectangle of quilt
batting.
(16) Sandwich the quilt batting between the dyed
muslin
and the tulle. Pin the edges to prevent shifting
when
sewing.
(17)
Use
a disappearing ink quilting pen or chalk pencil and a ruler,
mark a four and one-half inch by five and one-half inch
rectangle in the center of the fabric.
(18)
Machine-sew
through
all of the layers along the chalk line on three sides creating
a “pocket.” Fill the pocket with lavender
between
the quilt batting and the tulle and then machine sew the pocket
closed. This is the sachet bottom.
(19)
Pin
the
embellished sachet top to the sachet bottom. Machine-sew
all
of the layers together leaving at least a one-half inch seam
allowance on all sides.
(20)
Lay
the
sachet on a self-healing cutting mat. Use a ruler
and
a quilting rotary cutter to trim all of the edges one-quarter
inch
from each sewn line to complete the sachet.
