DIY heart pillow

how to make a Valentine heart pillow with recycled fabric
Valentine pillows are easy to make with up-cycled fabrics. This red & white stripe thrift store top, inspired me to make some heart pillows to cozy up with!

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.
My first heart was a template for the rest.  
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. 
I used bandana for the back of the first pillow and red sweater fabric for the back of the second.
