Share the love with our Huggable Heart. Searching for the perfect gift for Valentine’s Day? Looking to treat your little one to a cuddle companion? Or perhaps you’re simply looking to expand your sewing skill set with a spot of easy appliqué? Whatever the case, Chloe Hailwood has got you covered. In just five simple steps you can transform your favourite plush material into a super-cute cushion that hugs you back!
Download and print the templates from sewmag.co.uk. Press iron-on adhesive onto the felt. Using the templates and working on the paper-backed adhesive side of the felt, draw around the facial features. When drawing around the eyes, mark them with the template one way, then flip the template over to draw around the opposite eye shape. Snip out two eyes, a nose and a mouth.
Using the template and plush fabric, cut out two large hearts. Peel away the backing paper from the face pieces and position them on the right side of one heart. With a pressing cloth or scrap of fabric to protect the plush material, bond the face pieces to the heart by
