Aromatic sachets are very popular with modern hostesses. These wonderful bags exude a magnificent smell. They are traditionally placed in closets next to clothes, in dressers with bedding, on a bedside table or at the head of the bed. Manufacturers offer a huge selection of bags with various flavored mixtures. But, you must admit, it is much more pleasant to enjoy the fruits of your labors and calmer when you know what exactly is part of such a bag. It is also no secret that our land gives us a huge bouquet of herbs, which is so nice to collect in a warm company of friends or loved ones.

So, let's transgress.
We will need:
- paper;
- red cloth for the pouch;
- white lace for decoration;
- band for tying a bag
- white threads;
- needle, pins;
- scissors;
- sewing machine;
- herbs;
- a small deep plate.
Stages of Robots:
1. On paper we draw a pattern of the future bag (be sure to make allowances for the seams - about 1 cm).

2. Using a pattern, cut out two identical pieces of red fabric. It is better to choose a natural fabric, in this case cotton is selected.

3. Two pieces are cut out of white lace according to the pattern, which should fully correspond to the size of the red fabric.

4. Fold and bast the outer edge of the future bag. If necessary, fold the edges of the lace as well. I didn’t have such a need, since I came across a finished lace about 8 cm wide and several meters long. I could only cut off the length I needed, and the outer edge was already beautifully crafted.

5. Sew the outer edge of the pouch on the sewing machine.

6. Use pins to attach lace to the fabric. So the lace will be in the final at the right place and will not go anywhere.

Sew the machine along the fold line of the upper edge of the red fabric.

7. Join the fabric so that the lace is inside. We need a kind of sandwich: red cloth, lace, lace, red cloth. And with a slight indent from the edge, sew along the perimeter. Turn the bag on the front side.

8. Choose the herbs that you like best. Make a mixture of herbs or use only one species. Fragrant herbs must be dried. It is advisable to chop herbs, leaves, stems and flowers should not exceed 1 cm in size. We made two bags and, accordingly, chose two different fillers. In the first bag, dried rosemary flowers and green basil leaves were used, in the second - green basil and fragrant lavender. Information on the effect of various herbs on a person will help you find a mixture of herbs for yourself, which can be found on the Internet or books about medicinal herbs.

9. Pour the selected herbs into a deep bowl and mix thoroughly. Breathe in the scent of herbs! Close your eyes, give freedom to imagination and fantasy!
