The nice tack in the form of heart will suit those who likes to cook. You present with own hand sewed tack — and you in reply for certain will please with something tasty! To sew a tack heart, it will be necessary for you:

• two square pieces of fabric (for example, chintz)
• square piece of batting
• band
• fabric for application
• threads
• scissors
• pins

Put two square pieces of a chintz a wrong side to each other, and between them put a square piece of batting. Quilt a chintz with batting on the sewing machine. From a ready piece find heart of the necessary size and sheathe it on edge a band. The tack can be decorated with application — besides in the form of a heart. For this purpose from both parties of a tack pin small squares of a monophonic chintz by means of pins. Sweep together a contour of application and its otstrochita on the machine a seam "zigzag". Then cut off all excess fabric on the edge of a seam and sew an eyelet of their band. The unusual gift for St. Valentine's Day is ready!

Pillows for St. Valentine's Day

The soft and cozy cushion will become an excellent gift for February 14! And it is not so heavy to sew it as it can seem at first sight. To make a soft pillow for February 14, prepare:

• fabric for a pillow
• material for stuffing (foam rubber slices, a synthetic winterizer, etc.)
• lace
• threads

Find from fabric two details of future pillow in the form of heart (do not forget about allowances for seams). To the face of one of details tack prisborenny lace. Then put both details a wrong side outside and sostrochit them, having left not sewn up a heart bottom. Through the remained "opening" turn out a pillow and fill it slices of foam rubber or any other filler. Then sew up an opening.

Such pillow can be decorated in any way: to cross stitch, a smooth surface, tapes or beads, to decorate with application or bows. But all this needs to be done before sewing lace.

In the same way it is possible to sew also a small pillow for needles as a gift to the lover of needlework. Only in it lace is not sewed, and better to fill such small pillow cotton wool.

Gifts for St. Valentine's Day: a cover for books

If your darling likes to read, and especially — if he carries the book with himself and reads it on the way to work in public transport and at work during the lunchtime, the cover is simply necessary for it for books. She will help to preserve the book in an integrity and safety and will remind of you! It will be necessary for its production for you:

• rough fabric
• threads
• fabric for a bookmark
• the unnecessary plastic folder for papers

It is best of all to sew a cover for books from rough fabric — a bortovka or a sacking. By the size of the book find a rectangle for a cover, without having forgotten about podgiba. If you want to decorate a cover with application — at first pristrochit application by a seam "zigzag" (as at production of a tack) and only then start sewing a cover.

Unbend both "pockets" into which the book will be inserted on a cover wrong side, and otstrochit them. Turn out a cover on the face, turn in excess fabric near a back and zastrochit podgib. Properly iron out a ready cover with an otparivaniye and sew a bookmark.

The bookmark becomes so: cut out long narrow of the same fabric from which you sewed a cover. For the end of a strip sew a heart. To make a heart, cut out from any fabric two details, and one more same detail — from the old plastic folder for papers. The plastic detail will stiffen it. Put details "layers": fabric — plastic — fabric, between the first and third layer hide a tip of a bookmark and sew up heart manually too much. Pristrochit a ready bookmark to a cover in the right place.
