T-Shirt Pillows
I know PPAers,
You have been on some punny pins and needles, waiting for more of my amazing (cough) crafts. Of course, by crafts I mean pillows. All I really seem to want to make is pillows. Actually there is an elephant and a t-shirt dress I want to make for Katy Belle, but all projects have been on hold while I have been working on my friend, Jaime's pillows.
Jaime came to me with a big bag of her favorite t-shirts and jeans and said, "I love these things but they no longer fit and yet I can't throw them away. Will you make something out of them for me?"
Like pillows?
"Anything you want!"
OK. Pillows it is.
The first thing I did was cut everything to shreds. "whoops! I am not sure at all what I am doing."
I started sewing stuff together and one idea became another idea and then a week became two weeks and then I'd come back and think "oh god this sucks! Jaime gave me her favorite stuff and I ruined it!"
Then another week passed and then I sewed more stuff together. Then I got super inspired and started cutting again and then I realized I'd only sewn 4 other things previously and those things were pillows. Easy, square, straight edged, pillows.
After finally letting go of Jaime possibly hating me, I finished the pillows and actually feel pretty good about them.
Look, this isn't a tutorial. Ok, here is your tutorial. Cut everything up and try to sew it back together then stuff it with pillow filling. Tutorial.
