Pillowcase made from shirt with own hands
If your husband or boyfriend's closet is filled with oldshirts, t-shirts, and other rarely worn items, and you're in the mood to wield a needle and thread, then use an old button-down shirt to create a fun throw pillow cover. A shirt pillow cover is a quick and easy way to dress up throw pillows!The pillow for which we will make a pillowcase,should be placed in a shirt. For the applique, you can take some image, felt, colorful fabric. This is one of the easiest sewing projects. It will take less than an hour, even if you sew by hand. With a sewing machine, the process will be much faster! So, you will need:
- a man's shirt on buttons;
- something for the application (optional);
- pins, needles, thread.
Place the shirt, buttoned all the way and turned inside out, on a surface with the buttons facing down.Place a suitable pillowcase or the pillow itself on the shirt and mark the perimeter with pins 3-4 cm larger on each side.Cut out the resulting rectangle from the shirt.Sew all four sides together. Unbutton and turn the resulting pillowcase inside out.If you want to make an applique, cut out a shape of the desired size from a piece of fabric and sew it on using large stitches.Place the pillowcase over the decorative pillow, button it up, get comfortable and enjoy your new cute pillow!
