I recently tried an “heirloom” tomato for the first time, and it was so sweet. That’s what inspired me to make this undeniably sweet little pattern! Isn’t this tomato just adorable? This simple-yet-satisfying pattern captures the essence of a sweet heirloom tomato (and maybe kicks up the cute factor just a notch!). I hope you have just as much fun making it as I did! Let’s get started!
