Stuffed With Love

*Edited

Sew some adorable little Valentines for your family and friends. I like to make a basket full to pass out on Valentines Day. They're sweeter than candy!


First of all you will draw some hearts on a white piece of paper and cut them out. Don't make them perfectly symetrical. I like them oddly shaped with lots of character. Make different hearts instead of using the same pattern for all of them.

Place two pieces of fabric right sides together and trace your pattern with a pen onto one side, leaving enough room for a seam allowance all the way around.

Cut out the fabric 1/4" beyond your pattern line. You will sew directly on the line so you need a seam allowance beyond that.


Next you will sew around your heart right on the line you drew, using a sewing machine or a needle and thread. If you are using a sewing machine you will need to stop and turn your fabric after every stitch or two as you sew around the tight curves. Don't forge to leave an inch open so you can turn it right side out.


Clip to the V in the top of the heart before you turn it. Clip right to your stitches but not through them.


Turn your heart right side out using a flathead screwdriver to help push out the curves and points. Then use the screwdriver to stuff it as fat as you can get it.

Once it is completely stuffed you will stitch up the opening.


Add a pin to the back and a button tied on with linen string to the front if you'd like.

Can you feel the love?

*I forgot to mention that it's fun to pin these hearts to a card you are sending someone. It's a wearable love note!
