Using template cut out 2 heart shapes.
Take one heart shape and with right side facing using Coats Ophir metallic thread, stitch at random several Double Cross Stitches keeping stitches ½ cm in from outer edge. Attach the three red buttons down centre of heart, using Anchor Stranded Cotton.
To make up, place the two heart shapes together with right sides facing. Take the length of ribbon and fold in half, pin this in position at centre top of heart shape making sure that at least 1cm is between layers. Using 2 strands of Anchor Stranded Cotton work a row of Running Stitch around edge approx ½ cm in from outer edge leaving a 3cm gap down one side. Using toy stuffing, fill decoration, but DO NOT OVERSTUFF. Close gap by continuing to work Running Stitch and fasten off. |
