Make a “Sweetheart”
And speaking of making one’s day (following on from the previous post), have you heard about the “I Heart Mirabel” appeal that Mikes is currently running???
In short, make a heart in any medium; get it to Mikes by Valentine’s Day; they will sell them @ $10 each on March 8th, and ALL proceeds go to the wonderful Mirabel Foundation. Full details are here.
I made these little “Sweethearts” for the appeal.


Want to make one too?? If so, I quickly whipped up a pattern & template which you can download for free right here.
Make one for the appeal or make one for Valentine’s Day – or even better, make one for the appeal AND for a loved one for Valentine’s Day! :-) Everybody wins!

Hi Jhoanna, I´ve just finished making two of them and my daughter helped me choosing fabrics and stashes! When you have the opportunity please visit me to see them and tell me what you think about them.
I wish you warm wishes for the coming year and thank you for this tutorial.
