It is peaceful in the sewing room, my mind stays on the sewing and away from the insanity that is our current state of the union.
Today I sewed up a few pocket prayer hearts. If you know me, you probably also know that praying isn't really my thing. So, I made up these little hearts and changed the instructions just a bit to fit my thoughts on connecting and caring.
The whole time I was sewing, Hops was snoring away in her spot by the closet doors. Like I said, it is peaceful in the sewing room.
I found the sewing instructions on YouTube.
Shabby Fabrics is the web page, here is the link.
I simplified a little in that I skipped the batting, sandwiched my fabrics, then
drew on the heart shape and then trimmed off the excess fabric.
Then it is just a matter of turning it and doing a little topstitching, and wallah!
It makes for a sweet little pocket on the back, or the front. I guess it could be either.
Here is one of my finished hearts.
I used one for a Confirmation gift, and one for a Sympathy card.
I think it will be nice to have a few of these on hand and they come together fast, and I can use up scraps.
I enjoy the Peace of Quiet that comes with sewing.
