Pillow and Sachet

My best friend has decided she wants her bedroom redone in blue and white.

She has been coveting this rug from Target.....
But it's not in her budget right now.

Lucky coincidence, I bought vintage curtains years ago for a "someday" project, that have almost the exact same pattern!!

So I made her a pillow and a matching lavender sachet, which I have pics of to share, but I also covered the top of an old piano bench for her bedroom too (pictures still to come).

The curtains only cost me a couple of dollars and the down pillow was $1, so this was a cheap easy project.

I've had a couple of people ask where I get my lavender (I have tried to grow it but my yard stays too soggy), I found an Ebay shop with fantastic prices and wonderful lavender>>Ebay Lavender

Typically I stay away from Ebay and only shop Etsy, but truth be told I am also VERY cheap and Ebay had the best prices on Lavender.

 See how close the pattern is? The vintage fabric is a little more vividly colored than the rug but I am pretty sure she is going to be excited!!
