How to Sew a Sweet Love Pillow in a Few Hours

Step 1

To decorate your interior and lift your mood, sew this simple, very sweet love pillow. You do not need much experience; even a beginner can handle it. You can also involve children, who will be delighted with the result.
This love pillow can decorate a room or make a wonderful Valentine’s Day gift, or a present for no special reason.

Step 2

To sew this pillow, you need:
• a piece of white or other light-colored fabric, such as velour, fleece, or cotton;
• a small piece of red fabric for the heart;
• sewing supplies;
• any soft stuffing.

You need no special skills to draw the pattern; draw it freehand. This tutorial makes a pillow shaped like a message icon. Draw an oval on paper and add a small hook-like tail. You need two of these pieces. Remember seam allowances when preparing the pattern. Here the pillow pieces were cut at 45 × 50 cm, but make yours larger or smaller as desired.

Step 3

Cut one heart piece from red fabric to sew onto one half of the pillow.
