how to make an eye pillow...sadie style

so, friends of sadie
is all about sleep and style.
you will come to know that 
we like to do things a little differently
to the rest of the world 

when you come to order your delightful pyjamas
you may find that one of these
has climbed in to your package
sort of like a golden ticket if you will

so, without further ado
an eye pillow...
sadie style 


cut yourself a piece of fabric 
something soft and luxurious 
(we like flannel personally but 
others go for silk or satin)
we have experimented a little and
think the perfect size is 
21 cm by 20cm
let us know if you find a better size!
you can add a patch or
little pretty shape or bit of something if you please

fold the fabric in half 
sew up the long edge and one short edge
leaving a little pillow slip 

source yourself some delicious organic flaxseeds
if you are only making one 
then pop into the supermarket
and visit the health food section
they are the perfect weight for tired eyes
you will need about 200 grams

then you have two choices
1. gather some fresh lavender from the garden and dry it yourself
2. buy some organic lavender from a lavender farm
(isn't there something so enticing about
the idea of a lavender farm!!!)
if you decide to use fresh, just make sure it is 
100% dry before you use it
i'd give it a week in the sun for safe measure

mix a generous handful of lavender into your flaxseeds
don't be shy

now us sadie types
 we like to spice things up a little
so add 10 generous drops
of something our heart says
eucalyptus, rose, geranium, lavender essential oil
they're all good
just make sure it's a proper essential oil
not a nasty fragrance

then fill up your little pouch!
you can decide how full or empty you want it
yes! there are no rules folks


ohhhh and then! the magic secret sadie ingredient
a scoop full of crystal pebbles
(source them 
from any good crystal goodnessy shop)


now for the exciting part
(well it's all exciting really)
sew her up!
 and hey presto delicious delicious
sleep time
love sadie
