Burlap Heart Pillow, with a trick for cutting out the burlap

Here is my new pillow design.

I am happy with the way it turned out.  

Burlap can be so messy for me to work with so I tried a new technique:

1-place a template of the shape(heart) you want to cut out on a piece of burlap

2-outline the template with Liquid Stitch 

3-remove the template and let the Liquid Stitch dry completely

4-now you will have an outline of where to cut out the shape, I was able to cut it so easily with out any mess

5-use spray adhesive to attach your shape to the pillow front

6-sew it on with a zig-zag stitch

7-finish your pillow!

Do you have a trick for working with burlap?  Let me know.
