Introduction: How to Sew a Pillowcase From a T-shirt

So i have a bunch of t-shirts in a drawer. And for various reasons I don't want to part with them. However I won't wear them either. I came up with this idea so that i can enjoy my t-shirts from vacations, etc... It's easy and quick. And don't throw the sleeves away. They can be recycled into many things. Look for my next instructable.

Step 1:

Turn your T wrongside out and stitch around the outside edges making sure to catch both sides when you sew past the neck opening. I used black thread so that you could see the stitching but you should match your thread color to your T-shirt. Make sure to back stitch at the edges and also at the corners.

Step 2:

Trim away the excess. save the sleeves for another instructable or for washing the car, dusting furniture, or any other small job.

Step 3:

Turn your t-shirt right side out and pop in your standard size pillow. I used a mens large t but if you have x-lg or bigger you can use them for queen and even king size pillows. They are great for summer sleeping when it's warm and youy have to change your pillowcase more often.
