ote dama

Ote-dama bags. These sachets are made from new material and filled with cedar chips, cedar and other essential oils. I've made these bags for what seems like forever. The first ones I made were pincushions and I usually used vintage fabric. When my children were little, I made them as bean bags.

I think I have made these same sort of bags from paper-- origami folding.
from the name I think that is what they are-- only using fabric?

These are so sweet. I happen to have a stash of dried lavender in my freezer....hmmmmmmmm.

They are very cute and I bet they smell yummy.

These are wonderful! I haven't quite figured out how they go together, but I am sure there is a little trick to it and quite possibly simple.

Looks like a very clever pattern. This is cute!

The pattern was from a library book and I think it may originally have been designed for paper. A few years ago I found it online and I will look for it again so I can post the link for you.
