What you need for this project:

2 skeins of Chameleon perlè no. 8 Lavender
30 cm piece of Madeira Metallic thread
12 x 12 cm 18 count white canvas
12 x 12 cm piece of white organza
Tapestry needle no 26
Lavender coloured beads
Loose lavender flower heads
Frame cut from hard cardboard with outer measurements 12 x 12 cm and inner measurements 8 x 8 cm.

Find the center of your piece of canvas and mark with a soft pencil.
Place the organza over the canvas and tape to the frame with masking tape. Follow the pattern provided and stitch 3 sides of the lavender pocket. Undo the masking tape and place the dried lavender into the pocket.
Stitch the remaining side.
Tape the canvas back onto the frame. Follow the pattern and stitch 3 rows of Double Straight Cross stitch.
Add the beads provided following the pattern.
Stitch up the little sachet using a backing fabric of your choice.
Make a backing that overlaps, as you might want to fill it with lavender scented stuffing

To make the tassel wrap the 1 skein of perlè thread around a piece of cardboard about 7cm wide. Use a piece of thread about 30 cm long, andtie the thread together at the top of the card.
Remove the thread from the card. Wrap a piece of thread tightly around the top end to form a tassel head and secure the ends.
Using a piece of thread of about 50cm, bind the tassel head using Buttonhole stitch. This keeps the tassel head neat.
Cut through the loops at the bottom of the tassel and shorten if necessary.
Add a few rows of beads around the wrapped section.
