How to make a Vintage Button Heart Pillow

Sewing for Valentine's Day

How to sew a button heart pillow for Valentine's day.

Add some Vintage Valentine charm to your home with this sweet country heart pillow that is super easy and very quick to make. 

 
The only supplies you will need for this sweet country heart pillow is: two small pieces of pink fabric (about 7"), and red buttons.

(I coffee-stained my pink polka-dot fabric to make my heart pillow look vintage/primitive.)

First you will need a heart pattern.  Draw yourself a heart about 6"X6". Pin and cut out 2 hearts. You are welcome to copy and past my pattern to the left. Make sure you enlarge it to get it around 6".
Place the two fabric hearts pretty sides together and pin around the outer edge. You will need to leave a 3" opening for stuffing. Place double pins where you want to start and stop to remind you not to sew there, as shown in the photo.
Stitch around the outer edge using your pressure foot as your guide. Don't forget to leave the opening.
Stuff your heart with fiberfill.
Move and adjust the stuffing so your heart looks evenly stuffed. Hand stitch the opening closed.
Begin sewing buttons on the heart.
Your vintage Valentine button pillow is done!
