My Collection of Sewn Hearts (who want to love you)

A few months ago, I made a set of gross little Vomiting Hearts - for those of you who want to express your love to someone but maybe don't want to be too soppy about it. Well, I enjoyed making these so much (and also owning an abundance of red felt & stuffing) I decided to add to my heart family! So the past few weeks I have been stitching together a few more squishy heart friends to hopefully sell in my Etsy shop.

My work station

Geeky Heart

Glitter Star

Smiley Heart

Suave Heart

They've been a lot of fun to make, I want to get me a few tutorial books on stitching felt toys as I'd love to be able to do more complicated shapes and stitches. I've still got a lot of red felt left so you can expect a few more hearts coming from me in the future!

I decided to make some packaging for these guys as well so they looked a bit more professional; and this is what I came up with...

Doodles & notes & drafts

Printed tags

All put together

It was interesting to put the 'nafftastic' brand on packaging, seeing it all made up together makes me really enthusiastic to make more products and packaging - but first I need to see if there are enough people who like them! I've got my fingers and toes and ears crossed that I will be able to get a stall at the annual Winter Arts Market in Liverpool's St Georges Hall this year, and then I'll be able to see first hand how general shoppers like my stuff! The thought of it is exciting, if a little bit scary!
