Scheme for building a heart with hands in two halves

To make a heart cushion, we need the following materials.

• The fabric of the desired color. It can be fleece, or from any other favorite material.
• Any filler.

  For stuffing pillows need to use special fillers.

• Threads of matching colors.

Step-by-step instruction

1. We draw our product on paper or cardboard exactly as it will look. Draw everything: eyes, mouth, etc., if they are.

   A simple pattern of pillows hearts of the desired size

2. Cut out all the paper parts, thus making the patterns. Do not forget about the small parts.

   Cut out 2 parts for a simple heart pattern.

   The rag heart should be 1-1.5 cm more paper, which we leave for seam allowances

3. We cut the details: cut two hearts out of the fabric using a template, as well as a mouth, etc. If you have a simple pillow without small parts, then they should not be cut.

   Pinning the pattern with pins and circling the contour with chalk, cutting out 2 details

   If the pillow will be volumetric separately make a pattern for this part of the pillowcase

4. We take one half of the heart and sew small parts (if needed) - this will be the front part.
5. We take the second part of the heart and sew them with the seamy side, leaving a small unsewn hole of a few centimeters.

   With the help of a sewing machine, we stitch the edges of the folded patches along the drawn line, leaving a short length of 5-7 cm not stitched

   Make small cuts perpendicular to the curved lines, without affecting the seams

   We sew a pillowcase for a volumetric heart from separately cut out fragments, we precisely combine them in advance and we split them with several pins

6. Turning the fabric. We stuff the pillow from the inside with filler and sew up the rest. Pillow-heart is ready!

   We turn the heart face out, evenly fill with synthetic fluff

   Not stitched hole in the side seam gently sew with a needle with a thread to match
