Here is the situation:
1. When I sew I keep the scraps. I save them in a plastic box. That box has been getting really full.
2. I have too many T-shirts. I hate to give them away because there are memories behind so many of them. But I need to lighten the load.
So I turned to my handy Generation T book for the instructions to make a pillow from a T-shirt. The instructions are really simple, so I'll simply describe them here:
Cut the largest square you can from the T-shirt, cutting through both layers. Cut a fringe all around, two inches deep, each fringe piece about 1/2" wide, plus or minus. Tie front and back fringe pieces together, using double knots, leaving an opening to stuff. Stuff with whatever you have available. In my case, the fabric scraps. Then tie the rest of the fringes. My pillow is lumpy and a bit heavy but I think that's fine. And there is no sewing involved in this project so maybe it doesn't exactly fit the blog, but where else can I brag about it?
