How to Make: Your Favorite Shirt Pillow

When Korby was 3 she wore this shirt everywhere.

I could never wrap my brain around why Great Grandma Doris picked up this awful looking shirt for my daughter.

Korby would only turn it in to me after wearing for a few days, if we promised to wash & dry it by the morning.

She would button it up to the top button, untucked, with something tucked inside of the lee pocket.

It was her absolute favorite shirt.

When she finally (thank God) grew out of this shirt, she was devastated!

Here are the easy peasy steps to turning that old shirt into a pillow:

*Button shirt
*Sew arms, neck, & button area shut
*Stuff shirt with poly-fil
*Sew up the bottom of the shirt

This is an extremely easy project. Korby is now 10 and still LOVES this pillow.

I don't have to see my daughter run around in this hideous shirt.

Its a win win situation!

One quick thing for you. Beki at The Rusted Chain is hosting an AWESOME necklace giveaway on her blog. You should really go sign up. She makes some of the coolest jewelry.
