Makeover Craft: T-Shirt Pillow

When you outgrow your favorite t-shirt, don’t throw it away.  Turn it into a comfy keepsake.

You will need:

-          T-shirt

-          10 x 10 pillow form

-          Sewing machine OR needle & thread

-          Scissors

 

1.    Turn your shirt inside out.

2.    Sew a straight line across the top from the top of one shoulder to the top of the other.

3.    Sew a line from the top of one shoulder straight down to the side seam under the arm. Do the same on the other side.

4.     Cut off excess fabric from the sleeves.

5.    Now turn the pillow inside out so that the pattern is on the outside. Using the end of a pencil or a knitting needle, push the inside corners out.

6.    Insert your pillow form in the bottom of the T-shirt and tuck the bottom edges in. Neatly sew the final side.

You may have been comfortable in your favorite T-shirt before – now you’ll be comfortable ON it!

    Nice for someone who loved an old teeshirt but grew out of it, as long as they like sewing, and I don’t really.

    I think it would be cool to make a blanket out of old shirts.
