These manifestation heart pillows are one of my favorite projects to make with my new fabrics! So imagine how excited I felt when Riley Blake Designs invited me to come film a video tutorial! I’ll have a post soon about my trip to their Utah offices (EPIC!)!
Here is a link to my Crafty Chica fabrics online, but you can also check with your local fabric shop!
So what is a manifestation heart pillow?
Well, we’ve all seen heart shaped pillows – they are super fun to sew, but this one has a little extra something-something. It has a little pocket in the back so you can write down a wish, an affirmation, anything you want that will brighten your spirit!
Write it down, put it in the pocket and let it go from your mind.

This is a nice project to make for all skill levels. It’s as easy as tracing a heart on layers of fabric. Check out the video to see exactly how it goes!
I made these in various ways. I used a sewing machine in the video, but I also taught this as a class as my recent online retreat and we sewed them by hand. We used bright embroidery thread to bring out the colors in the fabrics! I cut the fabric with pinking shears and used the blanket stitch all the way around the edges.
The picture below shows a variety of styles. I used the “la artista” motif from my fabric as the focal point in all of these.
