Hello, wonderful people. Stuffed hearts are super cute gifts, which you can make as personal as you want. You don't necessarily need a sewing machine, but I have got to say it would make this task a lot easier. Lovelies I will demonstrate the steps as simple as possible...
... Get as sheet of A4 paper. Fold through the longest part of the paper, and draw a half heart shape. Then cut it out. You should end up with a perfect heart template!...
... Depending on how many hearts your planning to make, work out how much fabric you predict you will need, and remember you chose any material you like. Beauties, draw around the heart template twice per heart onto the material, and simply cut out the fabric hearts...
... From the fabric, cut out a 30cm by 2cm piece (this will be your stuffed heart handle) you can also use ribbon, if you prefer. Along to 30cm's fold in 0.5cm from both sides and then fold together, secure by stitching along the 30cm's...
... This is the tricky bit crazy people. Put the two right sides of your fabric together, pin secure. Start sewing at the point of your heart, and stop just before the half way point. Place inside the 'handle' which is set into position, leaving some excess out from the heart. Then put material back over and carry on sewing...
...Stop sewing about 3cm's before you reach the hearts point again. Bring the heart back to it's correct manner. Give your hearts a quick iron, so they are neat and crisp...
... finish by stuffing the hearts (can use from pillows) and securing the open hole by a quick hand stitch.
I hope that your result is fabulous, it can be a lovely gift. If you want you can also add some lavender into the stuffing, so the heart smells nice as well.
