T-Shirt Pillows

These pillows are very easy to make and are so cute!! I made my 9 year old a couple and also made my 3 year old one. They love the fact they have pillows made from their favorite shirts! :)

So gather up some old shirts that dont fit or you just dont wear anymore and lets make some pillows!!

Supplies needed:
Sewing Machine
Poly Fill
Old T-shirts
Pinking Shears

I used an old pj shirt for this one


Next I sewed all the way around the design on the front. Be sure to leave an opening at the bottom to put the poly fill in.


Next I used the pinking shears and went all the way around it to give it that "scalloped edge". Once I was done with that I went ahead and filled it with poly fill.


Now you need to sew up the hole that was left at the bottom


You are done and now have a cute little pillow!!!


Here are the ones I made my 9 year old son

Learning To Sew

I found this tutorial to make "Sweet Candy Pouches" online and just had to try them! Since I know VERY little about sewing I had a friend come over and help me figure it out lol. I dont think it turned out too bad for the first one!
If you would like to try making them the tutorial is available here
