- Category: Craft

Ingredients
- Cotton fabric
- Stuffing (polyester fiberfill or small fabric scraps)
- Needle and thread
- Scissors
- Pins
- Optional: embroidery floss or fabric markers
Instructions
- Begin by cutting two pieces of fabric into the shape of a heart, each about 4–6 inches wide.
- Place the two fabric pieces together, right sides facing each other, and pin them to keep everything in place.
- Starting at the top of the heart, sew around the edges, leaving a small gap for turning and stuffing.
- Once you reach the gap, gently turn the heart inside out, revealing the right side of the fabric.
- Stuff the heart with your chosen filling, ensuring it feels plush but not overstuffed.
- After filling, sew the opening closed using a slip stitch or whip stitch to secure your pocket hug.
- Optionally, consider adding decorations like embroidery or fabric markers to personalize your creation.
Notes
For best results, store in a clean, dry place and wash gently if needed. Fabric variations and personalization can enhance your hugs.
