Handphone Pillows

There are many tutorials online on making this useful little gadget - Handphone Pillow and so I made some  too! :)

Made these 2 specially for my girls - Patchwork pillows on pedestals to avoid spillage from food and drinks onto their handphones! :D 
(The "pedestals" are actually small biscuit tins!)

They were so fun to make that I had to make one for myself too! :)

Tutorial 11 - Easy to make Sachet with ties

Today, I'm making sachets like this one shown below. 

They can be used as a gift bags for small presents and are so easy to make too!

Here's how you do it. :)

1) Firstly, cut out a piece of square fabric, about 30 cm, For this project, I am using a square Lady's Handkerchief (the size is about 30cm).

2) Fold the 4 corners of the fabric square to meet at the centre (as shown) and sew along the red lines. This will make a "tunnel" for the ribbon, yarn or string ties to go through.

3) Use a bodkin or safety pin to thread the ties through the "tunnel", Do one side at a time. Both ties will end directly opposite each other.

4) Pull the ties and make a bow. Fluff out the 4 corners so that they look like petals.

And there you go! A pretty little sachet! :D

I hope you like this easy project!
