Turn Your Old Tees into Trendy Throw Pillows

That pile of faded t-shirts gathering dust in your closet? Don't toss them just yet! Give them a new life as stylish throw pillows, adding a personalized touch to your living room or bedroom.

Here's what you'll need:

• Old t-shirts
• Fabric scissors
• Pillow inserts (size of your choosing)
• Sewing machine (or needle and thread for hand sewing)
• Iron and ironing board
• Measuring tape

Let's get crafty:

1. Wash and iron your t-shirts to remove any wrinkles and prep them for cutting.
2. Decide on the size and shape of your pillow. A square or rectangle is easiest, but you can get creative with circles or other fun shapes! Add a few inches to your measurement for seam allowance.

3. Cut out two identical shapes from each t-shirt. Remember to include seam allowance!

4. Pin the two pieces together, right sides facing each other.

5. Sew around the edges, leaving a 4-inch opening for turning the pillow right side out.

6. Trim any excess fabric around the corners.

7. Turn the pillow right side out and carefully press it with an iron.
8. Stuff your pillow with the chosen insert, making sure it's evenly distributed.
9. Sew the opening closed by hand or with your machine.

Pro Tip: Experiment with different stitching techniques like decorative backstitching or using a contrasting thread color to enhance the visual appeal of your pillows!

And there you have it – a unique, personalized throw pillow made from your old t-shirts! This is a fantastic way to reduce textile waste and give your unused clothing a second life. With a little creativity, you can transform your old tees into a stylish home decor statement.
