It’s a Simple and Thoughtful Project!

Remember someone special by making memory pillows from their shirts. This simple project will prompt warm memories for years to come and is a lovely and thoughtful gift.

Start with a shirt that’s in good condition and choose a pillow form that fits it. The designer was working with a men’s fitted dress shirt with a 15 ½” neck and a 16″ pillow form, but you’ll want to use whatever size pillow form works best for your project (instructions are included for fitting a form to a shirt).

A remembrance quote can be machine or hand-embroidered on the pocket. The message shown here is a beautiful option, or you can choose a fun or thoughtful phrase commonly expressed by the shirt’s owner or one of their favorite quotes. Whatever makes you think of them.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!




PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
