Lavender can ease headaches and help with insomnia, so lie down, pop on your eye pillow… and relax.
You will need
1/2m linen (you will have extra)
170g flax seed
30g lavender buds
Lavender essential oil (optional)
How to make
1 Make sure your linen is washed and dried before you begin. For each pillow, cut 2 layers of fabric measuring 12cm x 27cm.
2 With right sides together, sew 3 of the 4 sides, with a 5mm seam allowance. Turn the pillow the right way out and press.
3 In a bowl, mix the lavender buds, flax seed and a few drops of lavender oil. Add to the bag until mostly full, before folding in the seam allowance of the open edge and sewing it closed
