This is the scent for mornings and evenings spent pottering in the garden 🍅🌱 If you’re yet to try embracing summer fragrance and think candles are just for winter, give this a try.

Heatwave approved scent 🍅🌱 I get it you don’t want to burn candles inside at this time of year but if you’re having a pizza party or bbq this scent just elevates the experience. I’ve been burning it constantly outside for that kitchen garden feel.

BTS from my camera roll💐The making & the thought behind it our new Bouquet Bags.

I had the idea for expanding the slow living collection of Makes Scents for the summer months and wanted to go back to wear it all started, with flowers. So I created totes for carrying bunches of flowers with ease.

But….I haven’t forgotten about candles even for summer and email subscribers will know there’s a new summer scent on its way. Back to bags, I picked natural canvas and beautiful printer fabric, pastel trimmings and cotton webbing from and the owner was so helpful and supportive, before I’d even got a sewing machine or worked out if this was possible. I have sewed before at university for a costume design module but only managing the basics, so I relearnt. Needles broke multiple times. And I can’t stop calling herringbone tape, which is the softest material used for the ties, Hemingway tape.

I wanted to create something that was comfortable go carry, that’s made sustainably and that feels luxurious and fun. I thought about colourways and fell in love with the William Morris style print of the Romantic Bouquet Bag design, any other bags I’d seen were very plain. I’ll still be adding seeds into orders and if they get picked up by local or local stockists the tags on the bags will be made with plant paper.

I carefully thought about the label placement too, it’s at the back so that when you carry your bag it’s not hidden by your arm. The finishing touch was adding aglets to complete the ties to prevent fraying and make them as durable as possible. I made the first, then developed the design to lengthen the straps to create more room for larger bunches and posies. Now we have two designs, ready for pre-order tomorrow.

They’ll all be made to order which may not be the quickest way, or the cheapest, but I think it’s a sustainable way. I hope you love the Classic and the Romantic Bouquet Bags as much as me 💕🌸

Introducing the second design in the Bouquet Bag, this is the romantic one. I instantly fell in love with this fabric, it’s covered in large peonies, buds and birds. The print is whimsical and joyful with burgundy print on a grey/beige background with soft neutral coloured ties and cotton webbing for the strap to match the internal canvas fabric. The fabric is available locally in short supply so this one is limited edition. Plus it’s water resistant making it ideal for being out and about. Available with the Classic Bouquet Bag for pre-order on Sunday 17 May. I hope you love it as much as I do.
