Cut out hearts

Place the hearts right side to right side exactly on top of each other and pin them in place

Sew the heart together with the finest possible overcasting stitches (leave about four fingers open at the end)

Close the opening with a mattress stitch / ladder stitch and reinforce it well

Tips

  • For younger children, use a felt pen to mark where they should place the stitches on the heart (so that the stitches are all about the same length)
