Valentine Throw back post! Scraps of my heary tutorial!
Another fun and cool option is to add a pocket to hold reading glasses a valentine treat (sexy or chocolaty), a remote control, or even baby teeth for the toothsome fairy!
Yet another idea you might try is stuff with rice add a few drops of essential oil to make a hot/cold pack (microwave/freezer) for someone’s aching head or crampy muscles.
Tools and Materials for this variation
Scraps of fabric
Buttons
Ribbon and random bits of
Loveliness that need homes
Thread
Needle
Iron
Pins (optional)
Interface (optional)
Sewing machine (optional)
1. Cut and iron two hearts from my pattern
2. Design and apply the layout of your embellishments, pockets or what have you for the top and a bottom of your heart (if you used two different fabrics; which I did on all mine).
Iron after each layer is attached. Ironing will help keep it clean and make it easier to attach the next layer in your design.
3. Sew your heart out!
4. Turn your heart out carefully. Using a pointy stick (knit needle, chop stick, etc) check all your seams and poke out your point.
5. Iron your heart. Shape it up and tuck under the opening and iron it making it even with the rest of the heart.
6. Stuff your heart. Use fluff or whatever you like. I used fluff combined with serger scraps.
7. Sew up the opening. I like to use a blanket stitch for this and I use doubled thread for a nice thick stitch. You could also use embroidery thread for this.
8. Fluff your heart and give it away! Give it to your valentine and feel the waves of appreciation and love roll over you…
