The shirt Pillow cover

I had to share this pillow cover, that I made the other week, with you guys because it was soooooo easy!

1. To make this I measured the height and width of the pillow and cut out two rectangles from an old shirt (which I had buttoned up). 
2. I then simply sewed the perimeters of these rectangles together (right sides facing). Remember to leave on button undone as it makes the next step easier.
3. Finally I unbuttoned the shirt from the outside and turned it so that the right sides where on the outside and places the pillow inside. The buttons act as a closure, which is what makes the pillow cover so nice and easy.

Also If your shirt had any added details on it, then you can make a feature of these on your pillow cover.

To make this cover, I used one of my sisters out grown shirts, but if you don't have a shirt you can use, you'll often find shirts at a super cheap price in charity shops.

I had so much fun making this pillow cover. If you have any questions on how to make one for your self, leave a comment (as I know I don't always explain things thoroughly).

I hope this has inspired you!

T-shirt pillow covers

I may have mentioned a while ago that my little sister is growing unbelievably quickly, which means that she's growing out of most of her clothes. My sister absolutely loves her t-shirts and so didn't want to get rid, even if they where to small for her. So I had a brain storm and decided that they'd make brilliant scatter cushion cases.

I must admit that the cat one is my favourite. If you'd like to make one of these for your self then you might find this video quite useful.

I used the second method to make these pillows because I personally found that method to be a lot easier (I can also take them off to be washed, when ever I need to).

 As you can tell from the photos, I used only the fabric from the t-shirt for the cat pillow but due to a lack of fabric, I had to use a contrasting fabric for the GAP pillow.

I used the sleeves of the shirt to make the bow, if you'd like me to give a run through of how I did this, let me know.

I found this to be a really quick and easy sewing project that instantly lightened up my room.

I hope this has inspired you!
