She's Crafty

I have finally accepted the fact that my favorite t- shirt has bitten the dust. I love the graphic on it so I decided to give my beloved shirt a new lease on life by turning it into a pillow.

Here are some steps so you can do it too!
  1. I bought a Wonderform pillow from Joann fabrics.
  2. Then I cut out large squares from two old t-shirts that were super soft.
  3. Then I sewed the squares together on all sides except the bottom (you can hand sew or use a machine) then I inserted the Wonderform pillow and sewed up the bottom of the pillow.
  4. After that I hand sewed the graphic from my favorite t shirt on to the pillow.
  5. One more detail I added was I cut one of the shirts into long strips (using the extra fabric) and I braided a long t-shirt strand that I hand sewed along of the edge of the pillow.
Now it's my favorite pillow :)
