This is probably one of the easiest things I have ever done.
Do you have any old shirts hanging around that have "pillow" potential?
I found this shirt in my husband's closet the other day and thought that it might make a cute pillow for the playroom. All you do is cut the shirt to the size you need and hem the top and bottom leaving enough room to put the pillow through. Then stitch up the opening.
The beauty is that you can easily unbutton the cover and throw it in the wash.
I would love to see preppy pillows made with oxford weaves in solids and pinstripes. You can find shirts at the thrift store for a dollar or two. The possibilities are endless.

Very cute! My daughter loves the beach; I might spruce up her room with some of these. I wonder if a child's bathing suit could be stuffed that way too? Hmmm....
Have a great day.
What a great idea. What a colorful shirt your hubby had. Makes a great pillow. Thanks for sharing this fun idea....Kim
Clever and cute!
I love shirt pillows and sweater pillows too. Love your pillow. Cute!
So cute! This is a great idea - and I love that print! I hope your hubby doesn't miss his shirt, hehe! But it makes a fabulous pillow!
That nice bright print makes a fun pillow. I have a few things in my closet that just might work.
Talk to you soon ;)

Oh that is so cute! I have tons of those "bad Hawaiian shirts" that would make GREAT pillows. Now, I'm a bit nervous, because I've never sewn anything! I do, however, have a brand new sewing machine that I got for my bday. Maybe this will have to be my first project. I may be emailing you for some "hand holding"!!
Cute!! I will be on the lookout for button down shirts!

Oh, I definitely have a whole pile of button up shirts that would be fabulous repurposed into pillows- what a terrific idea!
We have a friday fun finds party- if you're interested, we'd love if you'd link up tomorrow! :)
What a fabulous idea! I've got to try that sometime.
Such a fun idea!
What a great, personal, and simple way to make pillows! It turned out awesome! Great job!
