I've finished Emma the baby elephant. Actually, she's a tattoophant, as she has black lines across her left side because I was stupid enough to draw the outline on the patterned side of the fabric first. When I realized my mistake and re-did it on the other side, the lines didn't match, of course. But I decided that she's a rebellious little elephant who secretly visited a tattoo studio; that's my story and I stick to it. *g*
Behold the entire herd now. From top to bottom: Fanny and Flora (I rechristened Fleur), Ellie and Lola, Lilly and Emma.
Since I've run out of the nice, strong floral fabric, there won't be any more elephants for a while. Unless another old dress of Grandma shows up, which is unlikely. From the remaining scraps I'll make lavender sachets for the Christmas fair again.
Speaking of which, I got a brilliant (???) idea about how to recycle old lavener sachets that have lost their scent. I emptied them into an air-tight plastic box, mixed in two packages of freshly dried lavender flowers and will keep them there for a while until the entire amount gets scented again. I hope it works; if it does, it will enable me to make a great many sachets. Even some of the little sacks can be reused, which would save me a lot of work. *fingers crossed*
