How to make an Autograph Heart
Pillow...an easy sewing
craft project for kids |
|
This adorable Heart
Autograph Pillow is a great project to make for a birthday party,
graduation, sleep over, wedding, or how about using pink and blue fur and
make it for a baby shower where everyone can say what they want on your
pillow for the new mom and baby, or it would even be great for a going
away party so everyone could say their goodbyes on it. |
 |
First,
draw yourself a big heart on paper. Mine was about 18". I
wanted it big heart so lots of autographs could go on it. Then pin it onto
2 layers of a light colored COTTON fabric like white. Then cut along your
heart pattern. |
|
|
Next
pin your heart around the edges like you see in the picture and leave an
opening so that you can stuff it. The pretty sides of the fabric are
on the outside. This means you can see them, because with this
project, there is no need to turn it pretty side out. |

|
Sew
around your heart leaving an opening and don't forget to back-tack at the
beginning and the end. Once you have sewn around your heart go ahead and
stuff it. You do not want to stuff it too firm. Then sew the
opening closed.
Begin by folding the fur in half
and pinning it on your heart so that both the back and the front of your
heart has equal amounts of fur trim.
Instead of buying fur then
cutting the fur into strips and getting little pieces of fur everywhere,
fabric stores and stores like Wal-Mart sell PRE-CUT, Pre-finished strips
of fur, which is what I used. Boy did that make this project a lot
easier!!! |

Sew the
fur around your pillow BY HAND. You can sew the fur on the machine
but most likely the fur will get stuck in your needle and your pressure
foot and you will break a couple of needles, so it is best to sew it by
hand. Once you have sewn the
fur around your pillow your heart is ready to have everyone sign it!!! |
