I am not big on throwing away old fabrics. I always like to think about ways to use them again in new fresh ways. And that's exactly the case of these t-shirt pillows I have been sewing for my customers! Do you have a pile of t-shirts your son or daughter doesn't wear anymore? Then, give them to me and I will make a cool new pillow cover out of them. And the remnants? Those get donated (it turns out a quilting club is happy to use them too!).
From old to re-purposed is indeed the story behind today's blog. Below is how it all works: I love to play around with the t-shirt logos. It's like a big fabric puzzle. I create an overall layout of the t-shirts so the colors, shapes, and sizes all work together in the pillow cover. And then I cut, cut, cut. And then the puzzle comes together under the needle of my reliable sewing machine. Et voila!

One thing I don't have to worry is if the pillow will turn out fun. It always will! Why? Because the t-shirts tell their own story of meaning: they reflect on what your child has achieved; they reflect on all of the fun activities you child enjoys. These pillows are about fond memories and a hope for a great future.
