Once you have cut out your biggest heart it is time to move on to the medium heart. Cut around the next line on the pattern so that it is now smaller but not the smallest size.

Then pin and cut out the medium heart on the fold only once. Continue on by repeating the last step and cutting the pattern on the last and smallest heart. Pin and cut out 1 of your smallest heart on the fold.

Now place the heart top and heart back wrong sides together. Pin in place. Leave a 4″ opening on the side of the heart for stuffing. Stitch around the heart using a 1″ seam allowance. Don’t forget to leave the opening for stuffing! Cut many slits in ALL the seams of your raggedy heart. The smaller the slits, the better it rags. Be careful not to cut into your stitching.
