T-Shirt Throw Pillow

This is a cute pillow you can make from an old T-shirt.

The Pink Floyd T-shirt was an adult small so I purchased a 14" square pillow form to place inside.

The Air Force T-shirt was an extra large so I used an 18" square pillow form for it.

You will have 2 rectangles.

Front of Pillow

Cut out a square 1" larger than your pillow form. Sew to a cotton backing, stitching 1/4" from the edge.

Back of Pillow

The back of the pillow needs to overlap about 4 inches in the center so that it can be removed for washing.

Pin and Sew With Piping
