I love Valentine's Day!
Here is another idea for you to use up some of your old sweaters, and better yet, the scraps from your other upcycled projects.Here is a tutorial showing you how easy it is to make these patchwork hearts. You will have a bunch made up in no time.
 |
| Cut out fabric pieces using sweaters of your choice. |
 |
| With Right Sides Together (RST) sew piece 1 to piece 2. Open that up and place pattern piece 3 (RST) and sew together. |
 |
| If you want to hang your heart, baste a ribbon, jute or thick string on the right side of the heart back piece. |
 |
| Gather the string or ribbon up and pin in the center of the heart, so it won't get caught in the seam. |
 |
| Place the pieced heart top to the bottom piece (RST) and pin in place. Sew all the way around leaving about a 2" opening to stuff the heart. |
 |
| Turn inside out and stuff firmly. |
 |
| With a needle and thread, slip stitch opening closed. |
 |
| Ta Dah! |
 |
Sew a bunch up for all your Valentine's, or just fill a basket full of hearts for a fun holiday decoration! |
