Supplies You Need:
Materials:T-Shirts,Thread,Polyester stuffing
Tools:Scissors,Tape measure,Pencil,Paper,Sewing Machine
Instructions:
1. Go through your pile of favorite t-shirts and pick out one with a fun design. Decide on the size and shape of your design and take measurements.
2. Transfer your measurements to a large piece of paper or newspaper and cut out. I used an extra large pot lid to make a circle pattern. These are your patterns. 3. Position the pattern on the t-shirt. Pin through both layers of material using straight pins, parallel to all four edges, so you can cut around the edges with a pair of scissors.
4. Cut the around the pattern and remove the straight pins. You will be left with two identical sized pieces of material.
5. Turn the pieces of material inside out and pin together using straight pins. Place the pins perpendicular to the edges so the sewing machine can still run over them.
6. Thread your sewing machine with the same color thread as the t-shirt you are using. Starting at one corner, sew along the inside edge with a straight stitch, leaving about a 1/4" border.
7. Continue sewing all four sides, leaving a 2" gap at the end for the stuffing. If you are using a pillow form, only sew up three sides, leaving one side open to insert the form. Turn the pillow right side out.
8. Fill the pillow with polyester stuffing, feeding it through the gap that you left. Once you are satisfied with the amount of stuffing inside, it is time to close up the gap. Thread a needle and hand sew the opening closed.
