I have created the metal frame for the heart and I realized that the leather would be hard to keep on the frame as I couldn't sew through it to keep it in place. So I have created a giant heart case from calico to glue the leather to. After sewing the case around the frame. I created the strips of leather to fit in lines across the heart, so the leather is in panels and not one big leather piece.
