FINISHING
This yarn is not suitable to use to sew up your cushion, so use
an appropriate colour of sewing cotton.



Gently pull the two pieces of fabric into even heart shapes. Place them together with the  purl sides facing each other. Starting at the bottom tip of the heart, firmly back stitch the edges together about 1cm from the edge. Stitch all the way around, but leave a 10cm gap down the final straight side of the heart shape. Turn the cushion inside out by pulling it through the gap you have left. Stuff with enough filler to give the cushion shape. Sew up the gap neatly.
