97% cotton, 3% poliester. Tagline: "We can't fight nature" Upcycling T-shirts into pillows is a fast and easy sewing project that anyone with beginner-level sewing skills can handle. This tutorial works best with knit T-shirt fabric (fabric that has a bit of stretch to it). Cut the Two Back Pieces Based on the pillow measurements, cut the back pillow pattern pieces first. There will be two pieces overlapping (envelope-style) in the middle of the pillow. The preexisting hem on the bottom of the T-shirt will serve as the ends. Cut the front and back of the shirt’s hem the same width as your pillow, and three-quarters the length of the pillow. Cut the Front Piece Cut the remaining top of the shirt (the graphic), the same exact measurement as your pillow (length x width). This will be the front of your pillow. You should now have three pattern pieces: the front of the pillow (the graphic) and the two back pieces (the hems). Place the First Back Piece Place the front pillow piece (the graphic) right-side up.

Then place one of the back pieces on top of it, right sides together. Match up the three raw/cut edges. Place the Second Back Piece and Secure Take your other back pillow piece and place it on top of that, right side facing down. Place this on the opposite raw edges of the pillow, so that the hems overlap in the middle. Pin around all four edges and then sew. Use a zigzag stitch on your machine to avoid the knit from stretching. Turn the pillow cover right-side out. Stuff the pillow through the back envelope opening. Fold Over and Smooth Pull both of the back pieces over the pillow form and smooth. The form should now be safely enclosed inside the pillow cover. You now have a perfect pillow for your child's bed, couch or anywhere else you want to put this comfy keepsake.I have these two t-shirts that I love.  They're soft, comfortable, and have good worn (and sentimental) designs on them.  But, I never wear them for anything other than around the house because they are large men's t-shirts and look completely shapeless on me.

Then I found this great tutorial on YouTube for how to make a big t-shirt a fitted shirt!  - T-Shirt Surgery: How to Make a Shirt Fit So, while I was staying with my mom at her camper this summer (she lives & travels in an RV), I asked her to help me try it out.  So yes...we broke out the sewing machine next to the campfire.  Strange, I know, but it gave us a project to work on! First, a before & after look at the t-shirt we did.  Oh yeah, I know you love those electric blue fingernails. So, here's how it's done. Start with a t-shirt you love that's just too big Turn the shirt inside out and lay a shirt that DOES fit you on top of it, lining up the collars so that you can be sure it is centered over your large t-shirt. Trace the shirt that DOES fit you onto the large t-shirt.  Turn both shirts inside out so that you don't mark on the front of the shirts.  I used a sharpie, but you'd be better off to use a washable marker, chalk or a fabric pen.  When you do the sleeves, try to make your line parallel to the top shoulder.

Next, fold the large t-shirt in half to make sure that the armpit marks line up.  Mine did match up, but if yours don't, you can just re-mark them to match. I went ahead and pinned the front and back of the shirt together, so that it didn't slip while we were sewing. Sew along your traced lines.  Or, in my case, have your MOM sew along the traced lines. Try on your shirt (inside out) to see how it fits.  Mine was still a little big, so we sewed it up again about a 1/4" more on each side.  Then it looked like this: If you like the fit, then you can trim off the excess fabric. Turn the shirt right-side out and try it on.   You can leave it as is, with longer sleeves, or you can cut & hem them - which is what I decided to do. While I was wearing the shirt, I marked with a pin the length I wanted the sleeves to be.  Then I took it off, turned it inside out again and drew a line.  Okay, two lines, because I remembered that I wanted to angle the sleeve a little bit.
