Tutorial Tuesday :: Valentine's Day Sewing Tutorial Round Up


With Valentine's Day just a few weeks away, this seemed the perfect time to compile a Sewing Tutorial Round Up. Here are some of my favorite projects for Valentine's Day sewing, and if you're looking for Valentine Fabrics, shop our complete selection of hand picked fabrics from all across the store here. Enjoy!

Heart Patch Leggings by Elegance & Elephants
Lately I've been seeing heart patches everywhere! These trendy Heart Patch Leggings will be the perfect addition to your little one's wardrobe, year round! Sew them up in a Cotton Spandex or try a Stretch Denim Knit Fabric. A few of my picks from the store:

Be My Valentine Skirt by The Barefoot Seamstress
This skirt and heart accent would be great in Cotton Jersey Knit Fabrics. In her tutorial, Becky of The Barefoot Seamstress links to this FREE skirt pattern from Oliver + S. You can also add your ruffled heart accent to a tee or hoodie. A few of my picks from the store:
Heart Strings Valentine's Day Pillow by Allisa Jacobs
This pillow is the perfect way to add some holiday decor to your home. Not sure what type of fabric to use? A soft Cotton Jersey Knit Fabric would make for a very nice pillow cover. Allisa of Allisa Jacobs used felt for the hearts, but they can be made in any knit fabric because they won't fray when cut. A few of my picks from the store:
Robot Love Valentine's Day Shirt by The Boy Trifecta
Valentine's day sewing isn't just for the girls. This robot love template is perfect for a onesie or a tee for the little man in your life. A few of my picks from the store:

Heart shaped pockets?? SO CUTE! This cardigan from iCandy Handmade would be great to sew up in a Hacci Sweater Knit or a Ponte De Roma Knit Fabric. A few of my picks from the store:
Ruffled Heart Valentine Dress by Make It & Love It
The more ruffles, the better in my book. Your girls will look so darling in their new Ruffled Heart Dress! A few of my picks from the store:
