Lavender Dryer Bags

Lavender is out in abundance this time of year. It smells like heaven.  About a year ago I purchased some lavender dryer bags at Trader Joes.  Toss them in the dryer and all year your clothes, towels, sheets come out smelling like summer. Inspecting the bag I realized how easy it would be to make my own.

In this step by step I used Spanish Lavender, but the English is a far better choice and I have since made the bags with it.

They last through about a dozen washings and I keep some dried lavender in a canning jar for later in the year when lavender is not in bloom.

 Cut Muslin into 3X3 squares.. I used Pinking sheers so I didn't have to finish the edges...

Go Pick some lavender.. NOW .. It is in bloom all over.....

 Put about six or seven blooms in the middle of one of the squares ( or a good few tablespoons of dried)

 sorry, blurry... Place second square on top of the lavender and first square and pin.

 Sew closed...  Now they are ready  to toss in the dryer and tumble with your laundry!
