Step by step instructions
- We draw our product on paper or cardboard exactly as it will look. We draw everything: eyes, mouth, etc., if there will be any.
Simple pattern for heart pillows of the desired size - We cut out all the details from paper, thus making patterns. Don't forget about the small parts.
Cut out 2 parts for a simple heart according to the template The rag heart should be 1-1.5 cm larger than the paper one, which we leave for seam allowances. - Cutting out the details: cut out two hearts from the fabric using a template, as well as a mouth, etc. If you have a simple pillow without small details, then you don’t need to cut them out.
We pin the pattern and trace the outline with chalk, cut out 2 pieces If the pillow is voluminous, make a template for this part of the pillowcase separately. - Take one half of the heart and sew on small details (if necessary) - this will be the front part.
- We take the second part of the heart and sew them together with the wrong side, leaving a small unsewn opening of a few centimeters.
Using a sewing machine, stitch the edges of the folded patches along the drawn line, leaving a short section of 5-7 cm long unstitched. 
We make small cuts perpendicular to the curved lines, without touching the seams We sew a pillowcase for a voluminous heart from separately cut fragments, we first precisely combine them and pin them with several pins - Turn the fabric inside out. Fill the pillow with stuffing from the inside and sew up the remaining part. The heart pillow is ready!
Turn the heart inside out and fill it evenly with synthetic fluff. Carefully sew up the unstitched hole in the side seam with a needle and thread in the same color. 
We give ready-made pillows to our loved ones We stuff and sew up the hole for the voluminous pillow using the same principle and get the finished product.

- Without breaking the thread, we sew the remaining 4 segments in the same way, connecting them into a circle and pulling them together.
