T-Shirt Pillows

T-shirt pillows are a great way to put old t-shirts you're not ready to part with to use.

What you will need: A T-shirt scissors sewing machine Poly-Fil Needle & Thread same/similar color of pillow

I cut this t-shirt right under the image and saved the lower half  to make the pillow. On the back of the t-shirt under the collar it says "Yeah Buddy!" and I thought this would be cute on the back of my pillow. So I cut both images out and prepared to stitch them to my pillow.

I cut the half of the shirt I was using for the pillow down one side in order to sew on the front image.

 I did a really sloppy half-assed job of of cutting out "The Brak Show" image then used my sewing machine to haphazardly sew it to the front of  my pillow. Which is okay, because I'm still awesome, and this pillow is still badass.

  I took more care applying the "Yeah Buddy" to the back, which I cross stitched by hand.  The results look much better, but took a lot longer to do.  Now that the images are where they need to be, I folded the shirt over so that the two images were facing each other, turning the shirt inside out. I should have taken a photo of this...but I forgot.  Sorry!
I used my machine to sew up the bottom and the side. Now for the top of the pillow I stitched it almost completely closed leaving only enough room in the middle, (directly above the middle of the image) for me to get my hand through in order to pull it right side out & fill with stuffing.
I used  Poly-Fil for the stuffing.

I pulled the poly-fil apart into smaller chunks and stuffed it into the pillow making sure it reached each corner.  I stuffed the pillow as full as a I could, then stitched the small opening closed by hand.

One super soft, super comfy pillow. Perfect size & my favorite pillow. I LOVE IT!
