T-shirt Cushion

These kids t-shirts were well loved ones that were hard to say goodbye to so we got creative and made a small pillow.  Quick and easy to sew for all levels of crafters.

What you'll need....

    1 or 2 old but well loved tshirts
    Scissors
    Sewing machine, needle & thread
    Filling from an old pillow and/or soft fabric scraps for filling


First flatten out your t-shirt and cut a square panel incorporating as much of your image (if t-shirt has one!) as possible.

If you are using two tshirts for contrasting back and front be sure to try and keep your cut square panels similar size.

Pin the two square panels together with outsides of the t-shirt squares facing each other.  Sew along three edges and along fourth edge leaving a gap of 3-4 inches open.

Turn inside out, stuff with upcycled filling (I used an out of shape pillow we already had at home) and sew up the gap.

Ta-da!
