You Will Need (9 things)

  • Matching Satin Ribbon , 30cm (11¾in) long
  • Sewing Thread to match the large pieces of felt
  • Three pieces of Felt in different colours, 13 x 13cm (5 x 5in)
  • T, 25 x 25cm (9¾ x 9¾in) Felt
  • Pattern piece B, copied at 150% to measure approximately 23 x 21cm ? (9 x 8¼in)
  • Template for small felt hearts
  • Sewing Machine
  • Fabric Scissors
  • Pin(s)

Steps (4 steps, 40 minutes)

  1. 1

    Take the two large pieces of felt and place them together. Pin on the enlarged pattern piece B and cut out. Make a loop with the length of ribbon and sandwich it between the two felt layers. Pin it in place and pin the two layers together around the heart shape.

  2. 2

    Using matching thread, sew around the heart shape through both layers, approximately 1cm (½in) from the edge, being careful to catch the ribbon loop in the stitch line.

  3. 3

    Using the template above, cut out nine felt hearts from each of two of the small pieces of felt, and eight from the remaining felt. Working a row at a time, starting from the top, position the small felt hearts in a line of alternating colours across the heart. Pin each heart in place and secure them with a single line of machine stitching through the centre of the row of hearts.

  4. 4

    Repeat until the entire heart is covered.
