Pillows can be made from old T-shirts in several ways. Let's start with the simplest thing.

Beautiful T-shirt bright color, but no longer needed, we will wash and iron it. Next, we cut off its upper part so that we get a square or rectangle depending on its length. If the T-shirt is initially long, the pillow will be rectangular.

Now we need to turn out the resulting square or rectangle and sew one side on a typewriter so that we get a cover. Just the part that was cut off will be sewn. I recommend using a medium or large zigzag stitch. This will give the base of the pillow a marketable appearance. Turn it inside out again.

Now we use the filler. I’ll be banal and offer you padding polyester. This material is cheap, but it is the lightest and most durable. For such a small pillow it is - best option, In my opinion. We fill it quite tightly, straighten it with our hands so that it does not clump, giving the pillow an aesthetic appearance. Now you can open side sew on hands. Next, we can decorate such a pillow.

For example, you can cut strips from the same T-shirt. We stretch the strips, creating soft tubes. And from these tubes you can make beautiful flowers. For example, roses. We sew these roses to the pillow with threads matching the color of the fabric. This way you can cover the entire pillow, or only one of its sides. I also note that you can use a T-shirt of a different color so that there is contrast.

This is one of the options. It's not the easiest, so I'll offer you another option.

We use an old but well-preserved T-shirt. You can take a T-shirt with a print - stripes, for example, are popular. This time we will use the entire T-shirt. So if you need a medium or small size, it’s better to take it from the children’s wardrobe.

It is, of course, better to wash and iron the T-shirt.

Next we sew up the armholes and neckline. We use any filler at your discretion and stuff the pillow well. If you feel that the pillow is too long, then at any time you can shorten the length of the T-shirt by cutting off the product at the bottom. Alternatively, the pillow can be decorative. Then you can put a cartoon face on it, a smiley face, or suspenders with massive buttons in a nautical style.

If you decide to decorate your pillow with a smiley face, you will need to use yellow fabric. It's better to take a T-shirt or cotton fabric. Using a compass, draw a circle and cut it out. Sew to the pillow. Next we sew on the buttons - the eyes. And we draw a mouth or embroider it using red threads. Or you can make an applique from a piece of red fabric.

The process of creating such a pillow is very interesting and exciting. This can be done with children by entrusting them with some of the work. Experiment.

Sewing a pillow with your own hands is easy and even pleasant. And especially if the pillow is made from an old children's T-shirt.

Sooner or later, any clothing goes out of fashion, and if there are children in the house, then a lot of the baby’s clothes remain new. Anyone who has encountered this issue knows firsthand how sorry it is for this wonderful suit that was worn only a few times or a T-shirt that was worn only for the holidays, and now it is too small. This is what needlewoman Maria suggests - make a pillow from small children's things. The girl’s son really liked this idea and started doing needlework together.

Find an old children's T-shirt with a preserved design; it should be washed; perhaps it is a new T-shirt that, for some reason, did not suit you. Turn the item inside out and draw a square on the side where there is a design or the side that you want to use for needlework. The square must be drawn in such a way that the drawing is in the center. Step 2

With the help sewing machine, sew the drawn square with a knitted stitch, immediately working the edges. It turns out that you sew both sides of the T-shirt along the drawn outline. On the bottom side of the square, you need to leave a small gap in order to fill the pillow. Step 3

Continuing to make the pillow with your own hands, cut off all the excess, leaving only the stitched square. At the bottom, where the hole is not sewn, do not cut off much excess fabric, leave a small margin to make it more convenient to sew after filling the pillow. Step 4

Turn your pillowcase inside out front side and fill with padding polyester. Maria writes that she completely entrusted this work to her son and he liked this kind of needlework. By the way, the help of a child is wonderful, it makes him feel needed and enjoys the process. Sintepon is sold separately in sewing stores, but if you were unable to purchase it and you happen to have an extra pillow somewhere, don’t worry. Such a pillow can be filled with herbs (for example, mint, juniper or lemon balm) or sprinkled with cereals, any that are cheaper. Step 5

Carefully, with your own hands, you need to sew up the hole with which you filled the pillow. If there is a desire and a few more things, then we continue in the same spirit, involve our children in needlework and enjoy both the joint work and the sewing process, and then together we enjoy the finished result. The advantages are:

Environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic filler;

Confidence that the pillows will not fade during washing;

The required number of pillows with which you can “throw” a child’s bed;

New life for your favorite pictures;

Joint and useful time accompanying with your child.

As you can see, in this handicrafts, there is nothing complicated, but how much pleasure you can get yourself and give to your baby.

Old T-shirt

It doesn’t matter how many years it has been in your closet, whether you wore it before, or put it on once and forgot - the main thing is the quality of the material, as well as the size. It is best to choose a T-shirt with long sleeves, so you will be sure that there will be enough fabric for everything you plan.

Cutting a T-shirt

We take scissors and, without an iota of unnecessary doubt, cut our T-shirt into four parts. The front and back will be used as the main fabric for sewing the pillowcase together, and the sleeves will later become decorative elements, from which we will form original drawings.

We cut out 2 rectangles - 38 x 55 cm and many strips 2-3 cm wide. Of course, if you have a smaller T-shirt, then you can make smaller rectangles and, accordingly, cut fewer strips.

Drawing on the pillow

After the strips are cut into the fabric, you can apply a custom design similar to the one shown in the photo below. We take a strip cut from the sleeve and stretch it, while the edges of the strip curl inward, it will turn out very interesting effect. We pin this strip to the rectangular fabric, fix it with needles and begin sewing.

Ruffles

When the stripes were already sewn in certain places, it became clear that to complete the overall picture, some unusual diluting element would have to appear, such an element would be frills. There will not be many of them, but they will allow you to complete the process and add unusualness to the overall picture. How to make them becomes clear from the picture below.

Sew it together

Now all we have left to do is sew the two halves of the rectangles together and fill the middle of the pillow with a material that is convenient for you, which is in the house.

Ready pillow

Well, that's all. The pillow is ready, it attracts the attention of both children and adults. And the process of its manufacture is simple and quite fast. You no longer need to throw away T-shirts or fill your closet with them; now they can bring usefulness and comfort to your home.

Even bedrooms from Italy Trend, Magic, La Star from Camelgroup can be additionally equipped with such pillows. The main thing is to find a suitable design, a T-shirt of suitable quality, and you can get creative at any moment, spending time profitably and really saving your household budget.
