It takes me ages to put together a fabric collage like this. I keep adding bits, taking away bits, changing placements, it makes me laugh actually, the way I fuss and fiddle. Wanna see some of the stages this sachet went through?
I had already discarded at least half a dozen versions before I thought I'd take a pic. Just in case I fiddled too much and wanted to go back to this version. Or the next......
A dozen versions later and I am quite happy with the one I finally ended up with. And oh, it smells so good, I do love lavender.
I am linking this post to VINTAGE INSPIRATION FRIDAY over at Debra's Common Ground blog. Aaah, so many gorgeous things to look at!

It takes me ages too...I always change it up, or add more, take away...I Love your fabric Angel Collage...it is precious! The Pearls really make it look Vintage chic. I love the smell of Lavender... Job well done my friend - can't wait to see what's next! xo
A wonderful collaged little lavender sachet, you should be proud of your work it is rather superb - have a great weekend!
Exquisite. You are so imaginative.
Dear Liz, it is sooo beautiful- I love the end result, in white and blue, -your beautiful fabric,lace and ribbon choices---and the pearls-a most beautiful angel lavender hanger.
Hugs,Dorthe
You make fabric collages like I do...very slowly! : )
This one is especially pretty...I love the pretty pearls and the French ticking. So nice!!
Great work, I love your things, take me back to when I was a kid! Valerie

Oh, that really is pretty, and I bet it was fun designing how it would go. How funny that we both posted lavender items on the same day. Lavender is so lovely. Ours is now blooming in the garden.
Love the sachet. I know what you mean, got to try everything from every angle.
Thanks for stopping by my finished porch.
Have a great weekend.

Hi Liz - yes the perfect result. I think we all suffer from the same disease but it is how we create isn't it? The angel image is lovely, the pearls, lace and buttons, not to mention the Lavender fragrance which we never tire of.
Hugs,
Suzy
Liz your sachet is just beautiful! The poils are perfect! ;)
You sound just like me! Once I get my fabric collage the way I want them-it takes no time to get them sewn together. It just the fiddling with them that takes me so long! I fuss and fuss!
Thanks for sharing with us-and for making me realize-I'm not the only one!:)
Hugs,
Sonya
What a process I think your final piece is just gorgeous, proves all the fussing was worth it!
I tend to do the same thing! LOl

Ich wünsche dir ein ganz ganz tolles sonnigs Wochenende meine Liebe
