valentine’s pillow
Time for more DIY crafts. I had planned to post my bedroom dresser this week, but alas, I did not get to the fabric store. The poor thing has been 95% finished since October! It’s been stripped, painted and polyurethaned and all I need to do is add some fabric to the side panels. Geesh!
Since I didn’t get to the dresser this week, I whipped up this fun, super easy pillow for Valentine’s Day instead.
Cute, right?!?
So here’s how I put it together.
1. Measure and cut out your fabric pieces. This is for a 14″ pillow so I cut out 1 – 16″ square and 2 – 16″ x 18.5″ rectangles.
2. Draw a heart on the backside of the square. I only drew half of the heart and then folded it on half, pinned it, and cut it out so it would be symmetrical.
3. Cut out a red piece of fabric and pin it to the heart on the inside of the pillow.
4. Sew around the heart using a straight stitch.
5. Hem one long side of the rectangles.
6. Pin the right sides together and sew all around the outside of the square to make an envelope enclosure pillow.
7. Turn it right side out. Press it. And add your pillow.

Hi Gretchen. I'd love to be buddies! I'll send you an email this afternoon so we can connect. As for sewing, I have found You Tube to be a great teacher. It's full of awesome tutorials and really helps since I am a visual learner.
How cute! I may be making this soon…..

You can do it! I grew up with a crafty mom so that's helped, but I love trying new things and seeing how far I can take it. Your husband would feel very special with a heart pillow that was all his own.
Very cute
Thanks Karla!
Love the cut out look – I have a whole bench of Valentine pillows I drag out this time of the year and I think it's crying out for one of these ~ thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks! This is my first valentine pillow, but making them is addicting so I could see having a collection soon.
So Cute! I have a project for this weekend. Off to Joanne's right now!
