Everybody loves a heart - they symbolize love and goodness. You will love how simply these hearts can be patched from nothing more than a few scraps of fabric. At the end of this one-night class you will have the perfect resting place for your cup and cookie that not only looks good but is practical too.
Registrants will need to bring scissors, a small iron, scraps of material and a sewing machine or needle and thread. The pattern will be provided as well as fusible web for $8 per student payable to the instructor at the start of class.
Suitable for hand or machine sewing, this project uses quick fuse appliqué and easy patchwork, making this mug rug really quick to put together. The hardest part is choosing the fabrics. Will your hearts be modern, romantic, traditional or scrappy? The options are endless as each heart can be cut from a single fabric or patched from two different fabrics. This is a pattern you will return to time-and-time again as you look to use up scraps left-over from a bigger project or make a hand-made gift for a friend or a relative.
