Mini Heart Pillows!

With Valentine’s Day soon approaching, I’m making s few themed gifts for a couple of craft swaps that I’m participating in.  And one of my favorite things to make are these heart pillows from a pattern called Box ‘O Chocolates on the Sew4Home site.  This particular pillow is smaller than the original size so it’s easier for shipping to my swap partner.  I made it smaller by printing the template smaller.  So fun to make and give as gifts!

One of my favorite newsletter email subscriptions is that to the Sew4Home site.  They offer wonderful patterns and tutorials on their site, many of which I would like to try making someday.  I did decide to make the Valentine's Day: Hoopla Pre-Cuts: Box o' Chocolates Heart Pillows today, and am so excited at how my try at it turned out pretty darn good.  I love how easy these are to make, and I love how cute they are too!
I did have a bit of trouble with the chiffon, due to never having worked with chiffon before, but it all came together very nicely in the end!
Here's some pictures of my first pillow...

 Thank you Sew4Home for sharing the concept and pattern for these wonderful heart shaped pillows on your site!  I had so much fun making this, and it's going to make a very nice Valentine's gift for someone!
