You probably think that old t-shirts or any old fabrics, like bed sheets, can either be thrown away or given to the salvation army. However you like to sew here are instructions on using only your main material (and some thread) to make a small pillow out of your old fabric. This is super easy and good for beginner sewers, or anyone who likes to sew.

Any old fabric will work fine, here I am going to use an old t-shirt. One thing to remember is that whatever amount of fabric you start with will determine how large your final pillow will be.

I had this old t-shirt in my closet that I never wear and the graphic on the front is way to cute to throw out so it made the perfect candidate for a t-shirt pillow.

Clever idea to shred the rest of the T-shirt for the stuffing.
