HOW-TO:
Cut off shirt collar and sleeves. Cut apart front and back. Fold the front in half.
Cut a heart shape just like making a large paper Valentine.
Place front sides together. Machine stitch the outer edges of your heart. Leave about four inches of the seam un-sewn. Right side your heart. Fill pillow through opening and hand stitch closed.
Happy Valentine's Day!
