Little Miracles Trust - Scent Hearts

Scent Hearts are given to parents whose babies are cared for in some Neonatal Units in New Zealand.  The hearts are made in pairs to give to Mum to wear in her bra, or Dad to wear on his chest whilst they are apart from baby. The second heart is placed near baby so they can smell each other and feel loved. The hearts are swapped frequently to help maintain a bond. 

Directions:

You will be provided with 100% cotton winceyette allowing for 2 pairs of scent hearts (4 hearts) approximately 9cm by 9cm. 

The Fabric is pre washed using unscented detergent, dried and ironed ready for you to start sewing. 

Cut hearts from the winceyette fabric using the pattern provided. 

Hearts should be made in sets of four, and all four hearts should be made of the same patterned fabric. 

Using a sewing machine, use a basic running stitch to sew around the edges as shown. Press with an iron. 

Please ensure all items are made in a clean, smoke-free environment.
