Transform a favorite t-shirt into a throw pillow. |
You can't see it as well in this photo, but this t-shirt has been pulled on by a toddler one too many times and the neck is all wrinkly.
This was one of the original Mercy House Kenya t-shirts and I love what it says, and what Kristen and Terrell have allowed God to do in their lives through opening a maternity home.
So, just grab some sidewalk chalk and a box lid to draw a template (hey, it was within arms reach and it works). Sew right sides together on three sides. Slide your pillow form in and realize you are a little short. Cut the bottom off the shirt, which is already hemmed (yay!) and add a quick ruffle to extend the length (no pinning, just fold every few inches and shove through your machine).
There you go, your favorite t-shirt is now your favorite pillow.
yep. this is awesome :).
ReplyDeleteYou give the best instructions: shove through your machine. That's my kinda sewing! xoxo
ReplyDeleteA girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do to get the job done. If I pinned and measured and was all neat about it I would never sew.
Deletelove this! so, if i don't own a sewing machine i can use a glue gun, right? ;) and bacon neck? baaahahaha! never heard that term before but it's true
ReplyDeleteso cute! great idea. and love the ruffle.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea! It sure beats packing it away in a box while crying!
ReplyDeleteNot that I've done that...
*cough*
