First, I have to admit. the word “sachet” just came out as I was writing this title, but I had to look it up and make sure I was using the correct word. 🙂
sa·chet (s-sh)
n.
A small packet of perfumed powder used to scent clothes, as in trunks or closets.
[French, from Old French, diminutive of sac, bag, from Latin saccus; see sack1.]
Yep, I was right.
 So, obviously, I am a bit of a stranger to the grandma-esque trick of using a smelly pouch to scent clothing. However, I did find myself in need today!
I have a bag of old clothing, that had been sitting at my parent’s house and is now taking up space in my closet, that I decided to look through. Â I was inspired by MadMama and the Refashionista to take a peek and see if there is anything I could try my hand at refashioning.
Now, let’s be honest. Â I don’t know if I’ll ever take that leap and start cutting or sewing any of those clothes, but I did realize that I had to fix the musty smell of clothes that had been stored away since high school.
Luckily, I had this!
I filled it…
I love this idea! Totally going to give it a try, because my winter clothes don’t smell fresh at all after being stuck in a drawer for the last five months.
