Hi everyone!Here’s a cute hugs and kisses easy felt letter Valentines inspired pillow! My name is Jen & I write a little blog called City Farmhouse. Today I am sharing this fun & easy XOXO felt letter pillow.This is my own interpretation of fabulous pillows using my favorite washed linen & charcoal felt.(The great thing about this pillow, it can be used all year long:)!
Supplies to make this XOXO pillow:
Two piece of fabric or a pre-made plain lumbar pillow
A printer for the XOXO pattern
Grey felt (Or felt of color of choice)
Light colored crayon or chalk
Scissors
Cardstock
Sewing machine or needle and thread for hand-stitching
Pillow insert
Begin 2 pieces of fabric. One piece for the top of my lumbar pillow and 1{extra long} piece for the envelope back.Click HERE for my envelope pillow TUTORIAL.I chose a washed linen but you can use any fabric, just be sure it isn’t lighter in weight than the linen{it may shift on you while you sew}.
Next I took my gray felt and laid it out for tracing, I used 2 pieces from the craft store.
And printed {& cut} 1-X and 1-O on heavy card stock. You can use any font you like to make the XO’s.
I found an apricot colored crayon in the junk draw & traced each letter twice:).
Then cut the fabric out.
I then pinned & sewed just inside the outer edge using a longer stitch (4) to give more character.
Be sure to iron both front & back of the Valentines inspired pillow. Pin front facing sides together & sew away.
I created a little “LOVE” nook under my stairs where I could smother my boys with hugs & kisses before they head out each day:).
