Hello, this is Jess from Gracious Threads here once again to share with you another fun and easy sewing project, an Easy Valentine’s Day Fleece Pillow!

I love decorating for the holidays, but don’t want to spend a long time on a project that will only be displayed for a short time. These pink fleece pillows are perfect for Valentine’s Day, but are such a small commitment in terms of time and materials that you’ll be making some for each holiday!

YOU WILL NEED:

  • 1 14″ pillow form
  • 1/2 yard of fleece
  • optional trim or embellishments

Easy Valentine’s Day Fleece Pillow Slipcover Tutorial Below:

STEP 1 – Cut the Fleece for Your Easy Valentine’s Day Fleece Pillow

Out of your fleece, cut 1 square that is 15″X15″ and 2 rectangles that are 15″X12″. If you would like to embellish the front of the pillow, now is the time to do it. You can find directions on how to do the heart trim on my blog.

Fold under longer edge of rectangle by 1.5″ and topstitch it to hem. Repeat with the other rectangle.

I love the look of valentine pillows in groups of three, so I created 1 with chevron cuddle fleece (pictured above), 1 out of printed microfleece, and 1 out of velour with a heart embellishment (directions for the embellishment can be found on the Gracious Threads blog).
