I wanted something small so I bought Walmart\u2019s travel pillow. I opened the package and felt the fabric. It\u2019s super soft – it felt like velvet. And this would be a perfect pillow for car trips.<\/p>\nI betcha Jessica is going to looooove this personalized hearts pillow. She\u2019ll be thrilled to see her name on such a pretty and girlie pillow. Maybe this will be her new lovie pillow that she takes everywhere. Or she could put it on the front and center spot on her bed.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at the supplies I used.<\/p>\n
The hearts came off the back of two stuffed hearts (see picture above). They were easy to take apart. I used them because I liked the shapes, velour fabric, and girlie colors. (The other half won\u2019t go to waste because I plan to make a coin purse out of the front sides.)<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t see the hearts at your store, don\u2019t worry, I\u2019ve gotcha. I traced around them and made a pattern for you. That way you can choose any color and fabric.<\/p>\n I opened up the side of the pillow to slide her name in so I could trace around it.\u00a0\u00a0 She wanted this particular font. I used a split stitch to outline her name and then satin stitched across that to fill it in \u2013 all sewn from the outside<\/u> of the pillow.<\/p>\n I\u2019d say the most time was spent on embroidering the name. If you learn the satin stitch<\/strong> you can embroider words with fancy fonts OR you could stitch their signature on it.<\/p>\n So, you sew the hearts on, the name, and then the ribbons. And then you close the pillow.<\/p>\n You could order a personalized pillow like this \u2013 BUT it would cost you a lot more. Plus, it wouldn\u2019t be nearly as soft.<\/p>\n I think a handmade pillow means more to both you and the person who gets it. You put your heart into it. Literally, ha ha. OOOOh I just came up with an idea\u2026<\/p>\n When you sew the hearts on, write your name in pencil on the fabric that will be underneath so your name is hidden inside the heart.

BUT you don\u2019t have to go that fancy. You can stitch the name with a simple back stitch. Either way, I\u2019ve got you covered again, because here are my directions on how to make all three stitches.
