Our very first pillow for The Pillow of The Month Series is…
…this LOVE throw pillow cover! Grab your favorite fabric, a contrasting color of felt, and create this super simple pillow!
Perfect for Valentine’s Day décor and you can even leave it up all-year round if you’d like!
Supply List
One Yard of Fabric
One Square of Felt (4 for $1.00 at craft store)
DMC floss (I used white or you could
use your machine if you prefer)
Sewing machine thread
LOVE Template…(click image and print)
{at the last minute I decided to cut out (free hand) a heart instead of an “O”…your choice!}
Cut, center, and stitch {hand-stitch or machine stitch} felt template on 20”x20” piece.
Cut corners off, flip right side out, and make a point in corners.
Iron seams and place cover on pillow…and you’re done!!
If you make this pillow feel free to link to your blog or Pinterest in the comments below! I would love to see it!
Where did you find that chevron fabric? Did you order it online or find it in a store!? I can't find any chevron in the store and it's driving me nuts!

I LOVED this. I actually made a different version (same pillow cover, just not the love part) and am posting on my blog about it tomorrow. Thanks again for the great post. I am so excited about all the pillows you'll be making.
