When I saw these heart patterns, I immediately thought of embroidering them to turn into sachets.
They’d also make really pretty pincushions to include in a sewing kit as a wedding gift.
After embroidering, I cut them to size and sewed them together with a backing fabric the same size. To make the pretty edging, I did a blanket stitch evenly spaced along each of the four sides with three blanket stitches in each corner. And then using the same embroidery floss, I crocheted into each blanket stitch with slip stitch, ch 1 all the way around.
The hearts along with the other small motifs shown below came from Workbasket Sheet #84.
The pattern is available to download as a pdf here.
