Sew Sweet Pea Love Pattern with Cricut and a Giveaway!!

Hello friends! I hope you had a great weekend! I'm back today with a fun project you just might want to try, and a fun GIVEAWAY below!!  I made this as a gift for my niece and actually used this Canvas Tote as the gift bag to give her birthday gifts in! If you haven't heard of Sew Sweet Pea, you'll definitely want to check them out! They are a family run business with beautiful sewing patterns that can be cut with your electronic cutters using the SVG pattern file! Now, if you don't have an electronic machine you can still cut out their beautiful patterns by hand using the downloadable PDF. They also include lots of information on how it goes together and even give you instructions on how to applique and what kind of stitches you can use! I decided to cut the Love Cushion Applique Sewing Pattern pieces out of Natalie Malan Patterned Iron-On Vinyl using my Cricut Maker, but you can just as easily cut them from fabric. 
 I love that the Love word and hearts actually form a heart! I thought these pretty Patterned Iron-On colours actually looked like fabric! Don't forget to mirror your cuts when you're using Iron-On! One of the files that comes in the download is actually mirrored so you won't forget - and yeah I'm saying that because you know I forgot, lol! I left my hearts 'backwards' but I had to recut the Love... Oh well!


Here's a quick video where you can see how easy it is to upload this pattern into Cricut Design Space! Don't forget after you have it you can use it to cut fabric, vinyl, iron-on, paper and more!!


I trimmed close to the backing material so I could layer each heart and letter on and iron them on at one time with my Cricut EasyPress 2 and the EasyPress Mat. I'm telling you the EasyPress 2 and Mat is a game changer! I pressed for the recommended time and then removed the liner pieces and I love how it turned out!!
