Our Hearts, Our Mission
1000 Hearts is a social enterprise (a business that puts people and planet first) and a community. We believe that small acts of kindness have a powerful impact, creating a groundswell of change for a more compassionate world. A large body of research gives this belief a firm grounding in science.
Our hearts are our language of kindness, and we offer them as a symbol of care. They are made with love and carry this message with them.
Our mission is to share the benefits of kindness far and wide. We do this by making hearts with love and sharing them with anyone who needs a little kindness. A heart full of love is the best kind of heart, even if they're a little wonky or imperfect.
Thank you for being here,
Sarah.

Hello, I'm Sarah
I started 1000 Hearts in 2016 because I saw a need for simple acts of love and connection. I've always loved hand-sewing and wanted to make a tangible symbol of kindness that people could carry as a talisman against life’s darker elements.
Thus, 1000 Hearts was born from love and a desire to offer up something good and pure that would speak to the humanity in us all.
While I have amazing support from my family, friends and volunteers, 1000 Hearts is a very small social enterprise, so when it comes to production, sales, social media, emails, packaging and sending orders, it's just me. Please be patient if things take a little longer than you'd hoped.
I am delighted that so many people have joined me to create a global community of kindness. I hope you love it here.
~ Sarah De Jonge, founder & director

Community Hearts
We believe that kindness is for everyone, and that means our hearts are too. Our Community Hearts are made by Heartists who understand how powerful a small act of kindness can be. These hearts are shared for free wherever kindness is needed.
Make your own pocket hearts
Making hearts is kindness is action. It's a mindful process that brings purpose, healing and a sense of connection, even if you're stitching alone.
Heart-making uses basic sewing skills with a few little tricks and can be managed by people of all ages. It's a fun opportunity for experienced stitchers to get creative, and also great for people who have never sewed before.
Hand-made objects carry a little piece of us inside them and hearts are a lovely way to express your love and care. To make the perfect heart, focus on the process, not the result, and put good intentions into every stitch. Most importantly, be kind to yourself as you go.

Let customers speak for us
from 157 reviewsAnother lot of soft easy to sew felt hearts. Wanted some colours for boys or men but not such bright colours.

A beautiful and caring initiative. Simple and spreads kindness.

Great product. Is there a possibility of buying only cards as I have heaps of little bags that I would like to use?

I don’t order very often, as I’m in another country, but everything I ordered was amazing. Website easy to navigate, fast shipping (even to the states!), perfect hearts. Love it all and I’ll definitely order again.

Absolutely delightful strips of wool felt, perfect for creating individual embellishments for my hearts and for other little projects- a wonderful surprise package with a splendid assortment of colours ~ Thank you Sarah

The love in dark times heart is so beautiful. I bought this for myself as I loved the rainbow thread and wanted to have an emergency heart ready to gift. It’s beautifully made, a great size and feels substantial to squeeze.

I love the colors offered. the sugar and spice is my favorite

Received the special edition hearts. Lovely colours and felt is so soft to work with. Also received the brown colours. Wanting these to do hearts for men.

Thank you Sarah. It was absolutely perfect. The colours were great for kids and it was very easy to seperate into individual packs for the kids to save on time once in the classroom.

It was a quick, last minute order and received in just a few days. As usual, everything was as expected. Can't wait to share with my group of crafty ladies in a couple of weeks.

I was so excited to get my hands on some of these! The colours r beautiful❣️ Perfect for cutting hearts or embellishments for decorating my hearts. Knowing the luv and fun u have when dying ur felt makes it even more Special❣️
Thank U Sarah 💜🩷💚

My package of hand died felt strips arrived in the mail bring joy and soft comfort. There's nothing like the tactile warmth of tracing a heart and then cutting it yourself out of the strip...! The variation in each strip bring creative delight and makes heart making that little bit more interesting. Thanks for these new options Sarah!!

The hearts were exactly what expected when ordering. Love the subdued tones.

I’ve found they spark my creativity and give me colours I may not buy
