Felt Heart Cushion



Today I made another heart themed item, a cushion which is going to be a Valentines Day gift for Little L. The only cushion pad I had at hand measures 12in x12in so it's not very big.


After my fabric pieces were cut out I pinned the felt hearts in to position and drew on heart shapes in between. The hearts are spaced about an inch apart.


The felt hearts were sewn on using my sewing machine then the hearts that I had drawn on were outlined in chain stitch with embroidery thread.


The cushion has a simple envelope closing back. I inserted some pom pom edging when I joined the front and back pieces together.

What a sweet cushion, and I love the pom-pom edging it just finishes it off and gives it a real fun look.x

It's lovely, and such an effective design.

Thank you Scarlet, thank you Jenny.
I wasn't too sure about adding the pom pom edging but I'm pleased with how it turned out.

Hi Shell. As you were one of the first 6 to comment on my headband post, would you like some fleece to have a go. I do have some pretty bright, or pale pink as well as those I have mentioned, if you wanted some for your girl! If you decide to make one for her, let me know what her interests, activities are and I'll include something suitable . Jenny xx

Hi Jenny, that would be great thank you. My daughter isn't very girly though and doesn't like pink. At the moment she likes skateboarding (when the weather is good), animals and pirates.

Hi again Shell, what colour fleece would she prefer. I have French navy, black, brown or dark green. Can you email me on letterbox@winnibriggshouse.co.uk with your preference and your full name and address and I'll get a little parcel posted to you. Jenny xx
