This little heart is pretty simple and fast to stitch up (not having any half stitches) but looks fun with it's alternating colour bands and varying stitch motifs.
After stitching, I starched and ironed, trimmed the piece down leaving a 1/4" on each side of the heart and sewed it down onto a pre-made blank card. I'm giving it to my mumma when I see her on Monday!
I'm sure that there are loads of other ways you could use this little motif - maybe use some waste canvas and stitch it on to a scarf or cardigan, or integrate it into another craft project such as a mug rug or tote bag. Do you have any other ideas? I'd love to hear them!
UPDATE: Unfortunately, this pattern is no longer available for free due to changes made on various platforms. It is now available for a minimal fee through my Etsy shop.
This little heart is very sweet! Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little heart Kaye. I can see this, when finished being stitched into the front bodice of a cute little white cotton dress for a little girl.
ReplyDeleteCould you please take a peek at the pdf? I downloaded the pattern both from Google Docs as well as Craftsy but both are the same. The pattern shows as being 42" x 42". In order to print it would need to be reduced to about 15% of its original size which I can do, but I wonder if it would still be the same in the reduced print. Help?
Thank you very much for this lovely heart pattern.
