Make a Memory Pillow Out of a Shirt
| May 13, 2018 | Pillows, Shams and Pillowcases
This Works Nicely with a Shirt of Any Size!
Hold onto your memories with a comforting pillow made from a shirt. This is a simple project that will be treasured for years. It makes a lovely gift for the loved one’s family and goes quickly enough that you can make several in a short period of time.
Start with a shirt in good condition. The collar and buttons are important design elements, while a chest pocket will add more interest.
Laura from Sew Very Easy shows you how to proceed. A bit of sewing and stuffing and it’s done. The finished pillow can be any size as you’ll make a pillow insert to fit.

This is just what I needed! I have a disabled friend who wanted me to make a pillowcase out of his old hunting shirts. I was puzzling over the collar. Thank you so very very much!! This is just perfect!
