Once again, I, better known as the girl who can't sew, decided to throw all caution to the wind and make some fabric hearts.
--I used fleece because that's what I had on hand.
--I watched a couple of You Tube tutorials that taught me how to sew a whip stitch & blanket stitch by hand.
--With my own two hands, the girl who can't sew, came up with fleece hearts that I'm pretty happy with.
Wanna see them?
I sewed each little pearl & bugle bead on by hand. I may have gone cross-eyed in the process, but I did it. lol
Have you made any fun crafts in honor of Valentine's Day?
Thanks for visiting me today. I do appreciate all of your visits & kind comments.

They look pretty darn perfect to me Gina. I love them. Good job!
Your talking crazy! You can so sew!! The hearts look lovely, can't believe you sewed all those bits and bobs on, great work Gina!!
HEY! WHO SAID you can't sew??? These are absolutely adodrable! I can see them hanging on a little tree, or in a little basket or even stuck in a floral arrangement like a lolly pop! GREAT JOB! xo Diana
Gosh girl...not perfect? It doesn't get much better that that! I bet these look just darling sitting in a pretty bowl! Great job!
These are soooook cute. Great job coming from another girl who hates to sew.
Those are so cute. They remind me of a yummy cookie. Wish you were in our swap.
OMG they are perfect, it looks like you have been sewing since you were in Girl Scouts (Were you in GS?)LOL I tell you this blogging gives all of us the inspiration to try anything!
Well Done

Gina,
They are adorable!
Wow! This are adorable and sooooo pretty! Great job! OK, now I think I might be able to do this! I am so un-crafty! Hugs, Linda
I am so dang proud of you! These are darling and destined to be a part of your Valentines decorating for years. The layers and beads are the perfect touch. You are a rock star!
Hey, they look great-I love 'em :) You definitely can sew, and I...definitely can't sew!
Those are adorable, Gina! You should be very pleased. Also just looked at your winter tablescape, and that is so lovely. It's just so charming. Love it!
Thanks for stopping by to see my pantry. I'm still loving it every time I open the door.

Hello to the girl who can't sew....who are you kidding?? These are adorable, and very well done....you rule!!! hugs...cleo
Those look pretty perfect to me Gina. I just love them. I want to make a bunch of hearts too for Valentine's Day. I meant to this weekend, but then starting moving furniture around. Lol
Those are so cute! I would love for you to link up at my new Valentine Party at www.cheapcraftymama.com!
They are really cute! And one would never guess that you "can't sew"! Really, the important thing is that we keep trying to do the things we are not pros at, eh? :)
These are amazing, you should throw caution to the wind more often ;) You did a marvelous job!!!

These are just adorable! Makes me want to make hearts, too! So sweet and FUN! ♥
Those are absolutely adorable, sorry, but I don't think you will be able to claim that you are "the girl who can't sew" any longer. You've proved to yourself that you CAN sew.
Hugs, Cindy
I think you don't give yourself enough credit. Those look adorable and perfect to me. Love all the little details with the embellishments too. That's what gives a ordinary project a special, unique touch.
Thank you so much for adding this to my party. I really appreciate your visit and hope you will come again next week!
They turned out so cute Gina. I think we can officaially say that you know how to sew my friend. Ooh, I just got an idea...I'll e-mail it to you.
Mucho lovin'

Oh WoW, your hearts are beautiful.
You are amazing! So cute!!
How pretty, Gina! I'm not a sewer either, but I just may have to give this a try! Love the addition of your hand stitching:)
Gina, they are more than perfect! I love them. They are so beautiful they almost look edible! I think hand sewing is even harder than machine sewing. Oh, so many fun projects, so little time.
Wow! For a girl who can't sew, or says she can't, I'd say those are awesome! Adorable!
These are SO adorable!! I love them!! You did good! I don't know that I would have had the patience to do this....your stitches are perfect!
So pretty!
Lou Cinda :)
These are gorgeous. I love them. Great inspiration for my new sewing machine. Visiting from French Country Cottage.
They are so cute, Gina! They look like Valentine sugar cookies! : ) I think you did a great job!

Your hearts are just lovely! I like the way you made different patterns and they all look so good together. One of these days, I want to try a few sewing projects.
Yes, I certainly would want them out on display .
