Sew a decorative heart-shaped cushion using this updated PDF sewing pattern, now including two heart sizes. Designed for confident beginners, the pattern includes clear, step-by-step instructions with flexible finishing options, making it easy to adapt to different fabrics and sewing styles.
You can quilt the front for a soft, padded finish or keep it simple with a single fabric. Optional ruffle trim adds a decorative detail, and the cushion can be finished with either a zip back or a sewn opening. This pattern works well with quilting cottons, patchwork panels, teddy fleece, and other soft furnishing fabrics.
This is a relaxed, enjoyable sewing project, ideal for handmade home décor, thoughtful gifts, or using up favourite fabrics from your stash.
