Instructions

Making Herbal Sleep Pillows

Step 1

Place the pieces of fabric together with the right sides facing each other. Sew three sides using a 1/2 inch seam and a small (12) stitch.

Step 2

Create the mixture of scented herbs you find most pleasant; you will need less than 3/4 cup for a pillow.

Step 3

Turn the fabric so that the right sides are out and gently place the herbs inside.

Step 4

Hold the bag on a table, with the open top up. Fold the unsewn edges down inside about 1/2 inch and pin or baste it closed.

Step 5

Sew the seam on the sewing machine very close to the edge using a small stitch. Trim the threads and gently distribute the herbs throughout. Place this under your pillow.
