Conversation Heart Pillows



So I've never tried a sewing project before...

Being domestically challenged, yet wanting to do something with the bags upon bags of poly filling in my supply closet, I decided this year to give it a whirl.

With Valentine's Day around the corner and  pleas from my 2nd graders to make a special gift for the occasion, the idea of a heart pillow seemed perfect!

Day 1: We started by practicing the rhythm of stitching on a piece of paper.


















Day 2: Consisted of picking the perfect color, tracing their pre-made patterns, and drawing guiding dots.



Day 3: We stitched! Leaving the bottom of our heart open, and cutting away the remainder material.


Day 4: We got our STUFF ON!


Day 5: We closed up our hearts and scribed a special message for our Valentine!

With extra time we even created a pop-up convo heart card to go with our gift.


Happy Valentine's Day!

Batty about Art

Throw Back Thursday: A look at last year's bat oriented projects. 1st grade created symmetrical cut outs, while 2nd grade was inspired by our city's famous bat bridge.


Bats by themselves...
