Simple Sweater Hearts

This project is so simple.

I wasn't sure about them at first.

I mean, what is the point of a bunch of fabric hearts?

But then I decided, 

They are CUTE.

And there needs to be no more point or reason than that. :)

I doubled my material so that I had 2 layers. 

Then free handed a heart onto my material, which  happens to be an old sweater. 

I didn't worry about using a marker. It will be covered once sewn.

Then I pinned both pieces together. 

 

 Cut them out. 

Save the scrap pieces!

This is what I used to stuff my heart.

I had a giant needle on hand. 

Never used it before. 

It's perfect for sewing with yarn!

I cut about 30 inches of yarn. 

And started sewing around the edges. 

After it was all sewn, I hand tied the yarn into a knot, a couple time, then clipped the remaining yarn.

And the knots disappeared right into the fabric.

Working with a sweater is very forgiving.

All finished! 

And what a quick project!

And here I am, collecting my Jar Of Hearts....
