A little reminder: Valentine’s Day is coming on February 14th. This many send some of your scurrying to the store to buy some cute home decor and lovely gifts for that special someone.

Giving a personalised, handmade gift is precious and really shows the LOVE and thought behind your Valentine’s present.

I have put together a list of 5 simple and cute Valentine’s Day fabric projects to sew right now.

What can I sew for Valentine’s Day?
Like I already said, if you search online there are gazillions of sewing projects you can make with fabric scraps at any time of year. And Valentine’s Day is no different.
I was looking for some fresh ideas and although there are so many lovely fabric projects out there, the majority of them are little stuffed hearts. Sure, they’re cute, no doubt.
But after making 1 or 2 or 22 of these hearts from scrap fabrics, then what next???
So, I searched even further and picked out a handful of projects that were my favourites that I wanted to share with you.
If you’re looking for more than just another fluff-filled fabric heart sewing project this February 14th and running out of time to search, you’re in the right place!
Below you’ll find 5 fun, quick and easy Valentine’s sewing project ideas that you can use around your home as seasonal décor or give to those who love.
01. Simple Hanging Heart
Now I know I just said that making a polyester-stuff heart is cute but not necessarily original. BUT…
This is no ordinary Valentine’s heart. It’s completely original and makes use of fabric scraps, buttons, ribbons and book pages.
Wait! What? Book pages?!?
Yes, this project incorporates paper and fabrics together for a gorgeous heart-shaped hanger.
Check it out for yourself at Handmade Harbour.
02. Heart Coffee Cozy
Warm the heart of your loved one- both figuratively and literally!- with this cute coffee cozy to make coffee on-the-go even more romantic!
The tutorial includes the pattern to cut and has clear photos and easy to follow steps.
Tip: Once you’re done sewing one this Valentine’s Day, you can sew them for any other occasion too!
Read the coffee cozy tutorial here at Simply Notable.
03. Denim Heart Coasters
I was once told to NEVER throw away old jeans, no matter how small, big or ripped they were! Old denim can be used in so many ways and this Valentine’s project is one easy peasy example!
These cute coasters use denim and pretty cotton fabric scraps to make a lovely addition to any coffee table.
On Deb’s Days you can get the full details to start sewing your own heart coasters.
04. Fast and Easy DIY Valentine’s Day Garland
OK, OK, I know I said that stuff about the filled hearts!
But this fabric scraps project goes one better and uses a bunch of cute (not overly stuffed, LOL) fabric hearts to make a beautiful garland that can be strung anywhere you please.
Cute, simple and quick to make. What more could you ask for?!?
