Plaid Shirt Pillow

My husband, Jake turned into cleaning out his closet the opposite day.

Shocking! It's something I actually have never ever seen him do before.

Seriously, he has garments he's very own even earlier than we met, which became like 15 years ago.

Nicely I wager he determined there had been some items in his closet that he did not care for a good deal or that simply failed to suit nicely.

So as he was creating a big pile of unwanted garments, I turned into simply searching at them and questioning,

"a number of those blouse could make remarkable pillows!"

My mind is usually in redecorating mode.

I particularly cherished this shirt.

And actually, I felt a little bad cutting it up. It was like a brand new Gap nice plaid shirt.

But I knew my pillow might be just as remarkable.

So that is how I made my pillow.

1. first I buttoned up the shirt and laid it flat on the floor.

(with the aid of the way, that is a mens X-large shirt and this pillow cover will in shape a trendy length mattress pillow)

2. I cut across the shirt just below the arms.

3. Next, I cut across at the bottom of the shirt to remove the curved tail.

4. Leaving the shirt buttoned, I insided it out and then sewed down each of the open sides.

5. And lastly, I unbutton the shirt, flipped it back to the front side, and then inserted my pillow.

It would not get any easier then that!

For the small gray pillow, I accompanied all of the commands above. However, for this pillow I wanted to insert a trendy length throw pillow. Therefor I needed to cut a little more off of the one facet. I did this by using laying out my insert to measure it for length.
