We love the idea of handmade gifts and items for Valentine’s Day – it makes everything more personal and less commercial and crass.<\/b><\/p>\n
So with this post, we’ve had a good look round for a variety of internet land projects and tutorials: some are very simple, some more complex.<\/p>\n
But they all have one thing in common – they’re all worth the effort!<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is quirky, useful beautiful and fun! A lovely tutorial from the A Spoonful of Sugar website<\/a>.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a useful Valentine heart mitt template to download.<\/p>\n Very straightforward and attractively presented how-to – this useful and functional item will also grace any kitchen: it looks wonderful!<\/p>\n We like:<\/strong> The pattern features a little felt\u00a0appliqu\u00e9d\u00a0heart. Ahhh!<\/em><\/p>\n Stephanie<\/a> at Swoodson Says has provided this pretty as a picture tutorial on the Sew So Easy website<\/a>. It’s a pin cushion that’s a little on the large size – which we love because it won’t slide down the back of the couch.<\/p>\n There is the added bonus of a heart shaped hand warmer tutorial on this article as well.<\/p>\n We love:<\/strong> \u201cYou could also fill it with dried lavendar as a sachet!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n This simply gorgeous!<\/em> It\u2019s by Deborah Schlegel<\/a>\u00a0and appears on the Art Threads blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n It utilises fun fabrics and heart shapes and looks so good that you may want to leave it on your table long after the event has passed.<\/p>\n This will take you a little while to complete, so you’ll need to start this now in order to get it ready for the big day.<\/p>\n Look out for:<\/strong> “Using \u00bc inch seams, sew together in five strip blocks, mixing up the order of your fabrics.”<\/em><\/p>\n Of the reasons that we most like this article is the fantastic use of colour \u2013 a cappuccino theme \u2013 deployed on this modern looking pillow.<\/p>\n It appears on the Forth Worth Studio blog piece<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can also find out about making a cupcake mug rug on here – two for the price of one!<\/p>\n Why it works:<\/strong> \u201cI love the softness and simplicity of this monochromatic pillow.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Thanks to the wonderful Lisa on the Cucicucicoo website<\/a> for this excellent example – which is twice the fun: you just have to flip the bag inside out and you have a whole new one!<\/p>\n This is very detailed tutorial with excellent instructions and very detailed photographs.<\/p>\n We\u2019re really enthusiastic about:<\/strong> Filling the bag with homemade valentines.<\/em><\/p>\n Enjoy!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Love may or may not be in the air – but wouldn’t it be wonderful to fall in love with a new sewing machine?<\/p>\n Choose from GUR\u2019s amazing selection of sewing machines and get free UK delivery!
