Use Material Scraps

Obviously if you want to
fasten a sweet bag 10 a coat
hanger, II can't be very large
or heavy or the present-day
hangers will cave in. The bags
for hanging in closets or on
chairs must be made with bits
of ribbon attached for means of
suspension. Those for laying
fiat between linens or clothes
may be as large as desired,
though too much of a particu-
larly pungent potpourri mix
ture is decidedly too much.
Odd scraps of the prettiest
materials you have in the scrap

Double Seam

Sweet bags may be Of any
shape, to suit the scraps OF ma
terial, but il is best TO use A
double seam in sewing them so
that no bits of leaves or flowers
can creep out once they are FIN
ished.
Seam all but one side Of any
sweet bag, then spoon in the pot
pourri mixture and sew up that
last side. Even if the mixture
has been aged in glass, II IS
good idea to fold the sweet bags
in tissue paper and put them
away for a week or two so that
the fabric becomes impregnated
with the fragrance Then they
are ready 10 give away 10
