Expressive hearts make great ornaments, Valentine’s Day gifts, or charismatic stuffed companions for your home. Whether you put faces on them or decorate in another way, unstructured sewing is relaxing and a great way to express a feeling or tell a story. Take part in this workshop and learn how to make your very own fabric heart plushie! There will be a few options of base shapes to choose from or you can make whatever shape you like from your own imagination.

This candid, funny, and uncensored exploration of sexuality and what it’s like to grow up LGBTQ also includes real stories from people across the gender and sexual spectrums, not to mention hilarious illustrations. Inside this revised and updated edition, you’ll find the answers to all the questions you ever wanted to ask, with topics like stereotypes―the facts and fiction, coming out as LGBT, where to meet people like you, the ins and outs of gay sex, how to flirt, and so much more!
You will be entertained. You will be informed. But most importantly, you will know that however you identify (or don’t) and whomever you love, you are exceptional. You matter. And so does this book.
