Reparation of Pillow - button hole stitches

The grandchild is visiting, summer holidays, and she is 7 years old, but her favourite pillow had some holes:

Unfortunately it is not possible to open the pillow

We helped eachother, decided that the patches whould be heartshaped, så we ironed some vlieseline on the back of some scraps:

Then we cut off the extra fabric:

Then I found some thread and with button hole stitches I fastened the hearts, and the holes were covered/mended:

the pillow is useful again for a while...... ( photographer : the grandchild with my phone)
