How to sew a heart pillow with your own hands

Step 1

Prepare material of any color, not necessarily red, but preferably a warm shade. It's great if you pick up a knitted fabric, then when filled, the material will stretch slightly and the pillow will turn out to be fluffy.
Knitted velvet, velor or other is perfect soft material... The pillow will be gentle to the touch and you will want to hug it :).

You will also need: a pattern of pillows, pins, scissors, threads to match the material, a needle and a filler (synthetic winterizer or filler for soft toys).

Step 2

Print our two-piece heart pillow pattern. Both parts of the pattern should be the full size of A4 sheet.

The dashed line on the patterns shows the joints of the arm and leg with a half heart

If you want to sew a larger pillow, draw a diagram on newspaper or graph paper. It is not necessary to exactly repeat the pattern: lower your finger on your hand, let there be 3 of them, or make a brush with a mitten, by the way, then it will be easier to sew the pillow details; handles can be slightly shortened or lengthened; make the legs shorter or thicker. Imagine and then you will get an exclusive, unique pillow-heart, sewn with your own hands.

Now we cut out the template for the arms, legs and halves of the heart. Along the dotted lines, glue the arm and leg to the half of the heart. The pillow pattern is ready:

Step 3

Fold the material in half with the front side inward, pin it off with pins so that the parts are even. Then we pin the pattern so that the middle of the heart coincides with the fold line of the fabric, as shown in the photo:

Step 4

Outline with chalk and cut out the details of the heart pillow. Remember that about 0.5 cm from the edge of the parts is the seam allowance.

Step 5

We sew two parts, for this we put them with their front sides inward, we outline and connect with a straight seam on sewing machine, or sew with a hand seam "over the edge". Be sure to leave a hole between the legs in order to turn the stitched parts to the front side and fill the pillow with padding polyester.

Details connected. We turn the future heart pillow onto the front side.

Through the hole, carefully fill with padding polyester, not sparing its amount. The denser the pillow is filled, the softer and fuller it is.

Step 6

At the end we select the threads to match the material and sew the hole with a hand seam "over the edge". A merry heart pillow with arms and legs is ready for handing!

We somehow created it, today I will tell you how to make a heart pillow with your own hands, as well as what is the correct pattern and what is needed to sew all the details of the craft.

If you have experience in this matter, then in a relaxed state you will spend about 30 minutes.

Here's what you need to create a DIY heart pillow:

- Any fabric, red or pink colour.
- Sintepon.
- Scissors.
- Needle and thread.
- Sewing machine.
- Paper and pencil for patterns.

They immediately made a pattern out of paper and put it on the fabric. We will also prepare the necessary material.

Necessarily fabric should be one centimeter larger than paper. This is done so that the two halves can be sewn together.

We connect two parts of the tissue heart and on sewing machine we sew them together. We do not sew 10 centimeters to fill the pillow with padding polyester.

Be sure to make cuts around the entire perimeter. This is necessary so that the edges do not bulge and nothing pulls anywhere.

We fill the product with padding polyester. Distribute it evenly.

And carefully sew the part that was left for filling.

1. Pins - it is more convenient to take with colored heads so that they are better visible on the material, and in case of a fall, it is easier to find them.
2. A sheet of paper - a pattern will be made on it. The size of the paper depends on how large the pillow needs to be made. It is not necessary to use thick sheets - you can take a newspaper.
3. Sharp thin-tipped scissors for cutting threads.
4. Sewing threads in the color of the fabric.
5. Material for the product - you can buy a new one or use it old thing (for example, a sweater) with an interesting knit. In the second case, the edges of the fragments will need to be additionally secured with fabric glue.
6. Tailor's chalk - for pattern translation.
7. Sewing machine.
8. Needle.
9. Filler - if the pillow is only decorative, then a synthetic winterizer will do (it is cheap and voluminous). When the thing will be placed under the back or under the head, it is better to fill it with holofiber.

The heart pillow pattern is simple and easy to do on your own, just by drawing beautiful shape a figure of the desired size. The shape can be classic or elongated - there are no restrictions.

DIY master class

The drawn heart is cut out of paper to be transferred to the material, which is laid out on the table for this. The pattern is pinned with pins and outlined with chalk.

If both sides of the heart are from a single piece of one fabric, then the canvas is folded in half with the front side inward before transferring the template to it. Having outlined the contour of the heart, the material must be cleaved with pins. This is necessary so that its upper and lower layers do not move in relation to each other, then the drawing will be located on them in the same way. For a thing from two types of fabric (or two pieces), 2 parts are prepared separately, cutting them out taking into account a seam allowance of 1-2 cm.The heart pillows are made with their own hands, strictly maintaining the dimensions of the front and back parts of the pillowcase: the parts must match exactly.

When the pillow is sewn from one piece, then on a typewriter along the line of the drawing, it is enough just to sew the pillowcase, leaving a small hole for filling. After it is cut out, necessarily stepping back from the seam: leaving an allowance for loose fabrics with a width of 15 mm, and for non-loose ones - 5 mm.

Sewing a pillowcase from 2 separately cut fragments, they are accurately combined and cleaved with several pins. The right side of the fabric should be inside as the seams should be on the wrong side.

The sewn pillowcase is turned inside out onto the front side, then filled with holofiber or synthetic winterizer, which must first be fluffed up.

To distribute the filler evenly, it is convenient to help yourself when filling with a long wooden stick that easily pushes it.

After filling, the seam allowances along the edge of the hole are tucked in. Then it is carefully sewn up by hand. The seam should turn out to be invisible, not standing out next to the machine.

After that, the do-it-yourself heart-shaped pillow is ready.

If desired, it is additionally decorated. To do this, even before stuffing, the finished pillowcase is embroidered with beads or beads. You can also use large enough decorative items that are attached with glue gun on an already stuffed thing.

A pillow can be presented to a loved one, having confessed in this way to him your most tender feelings.

DIY heart pillow without stitching

Required material:

• Red and pink felt;
• Scissors;
• Heart pattern;
• Sintepon for stuffing;
• Pencil or pen.

Let's start creating a pillow

On a layer of pink and red felt, we translate the pattern of the heart along the contour (template below). Pay attention - the inner part of the heart is cut out on the template, we also circle the inner part. Cut out the hearts along the outside.

Leave the cuts with scissors to the inside of the heart - cut the fringe. Attention! The fringe should not be too wide, 7 mm will be sufficient, otherwise the knots will be difficult to tie.

Cut out hearts from felt. Heart pattern.

We start tying the knots, take the red stripe and just tie it in a knot along with the pink stripe, and so on. When more than half of the knots are fixed, we fill the pillow with a padding polyester, and we add the last strips.

We tie knots.
This is how the pillow looks from both sides. Heart pillow without stitching.
