  Step 1

  Print out the Sheri-created template attached & grab some heart-coloured fabric scrap (I used the remains of a fleece scarf), an embroidery needle & thread in vein-y blue + a bit o’ stuffing

• 

  Step 2

  choose your heart size & cut it out then fold the fabric in half & pin on the template

• 

  Step 3

  chop out the heart, et voila! A front & back piece …set aside the back for now & re-pin the template to the front on the right side of the fabric

• 

  Step 4

  using the lines of the template as a guide split stitch straight through both paper & fabric to create the veins

• 

  Step 5

  when you’re happy with your funky blood vessels gently remove the paper

• 

  Step 6

  pop the front on top of the back piece & securely blanket stitch the edges together, stuff & close and your open heart surgery is complete!

• 

  Step 7

  stitch on a brooch back or safety pin

• 

  Step 8

  and give your heart away this Valentine’s Day!

• 

  Step 9

  or keep for yourself & indisputably wear your heart on your sleeve!
