Supplies:

  • cardboard (for templates)
  • scissors
  • pen
  • sewing machine
  • pins
  • needle
  • thread
  • poly fill

Steps:

  1. Create heart templates on thin cardboard and cut out. Trace them onto the wrong sides of the fabric using a pen. NOTE: Remember that if your hearts aren't symmetrical you will need to flip the template over when tracing the second one of a set.
