Sewing a pillow with your own hands is easy and even pleasant. And especially if the pillow is sewn from an old children's T-shirt.

Sooner or later, any clothes go out of fashion, and if there are children in the house, then a lot of baby's clothes remain new. Anyone who has come across this question knows firsthand how sorry it is for this wonderful suit, which was worn only a few times, or a T-shirt that was worn only for the holidays, and now it is small. This is what the needlewoman Maria suggests - make a pillow from small children's things. The girl's son liked this idea very much and for needlework, they started together.

Find an old children's T-shirt with a preserved pattern, it should be washed, perhaps it is a new T-shirt that, for some reason, did not fit you. Turn the garment inside out and draw a square on the side where the drawing is or the side you want to use for needlework. Draw the square in such a way that the drawing is in the center. Step 2

Using a sewing machine, sew the drawn square with a knitted stitch, immediately overlapping the edges. It turns out that you sew both sides of the T-shirt, along the drawn contour. On the underside of the square, you need to leave a small gap in order to fill the pillow. Step 3

Continuing to make a pillow with your own hands, cut off all unnecessary things, leaving only the stitched square. From the bottom, where there is an unstitched hole, do not cut off the excess fabric too much, leave a small margin so that it is more convenient to sew up after filling the pillow. Step 4

Turn your pillowcase right out and fill with padding polyester. Maria writes that she completely entrusted this work to her son and he liked such needlework. By the way, the help of a child is wonderful, so he feels needed, and he enjoys the process. The synthetic winterizer is sold separately, in sewing stores, but if you could not get it from you, by chance there is no extra pillow anywhere, do not be discouraged. Such a pillow can be filled with herbs (for example, mint, juniper or lemon balm) or cereals, any that costs less, can be added there. Step 5

Neatly, with your own hands, you need to sew up the hole with which you filled the pillow. If there is a desire and a few more things, then we continue in the same spirit, we involve our kids in needlework and we enjoy both working together and from the sewing process, and after that together, we enjoy the finished result. The advantages of such:

Environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic filler;

Confidence that the pillows will not shed during washing;

The right amount of pillows, which you can "throw" a child's bed;

New life of your favorite pictures;

Joint and useful time forwarding, with your child.

As you can see, in this needlework, there is nothing complicated, but how much pleasure you can get yourself and deliver to your baby.

Old T-shirt

It doesn't matter how many years it has been in your closet, whether you have worn it before, or once put it on and forgot - the main thing is the quality of the material, as well as the size. It is best to choose a long-sleeved T-shirt, so you can be sure that there is enough fabric for everything.

Cutting the T-shirt

We take scissors and, without a drop of unnecessary hesitation, cut our T-shirt into four parts. The front and back will be used as the main fabric for sewing the pillowcase onto the pillow, and the sleeves will later become decorative elements from which we will form original patterns.

Cut out 2 rectangles - 38 x 55 cm and many strips 2-3 cm wide. Of course, if you have a smaller T-shirt, you can make the rectangles smaller and cut fewer strips accordingly.

Drawing on the pillow

After the strips have been cut into the fabric, you can apply a random pattern similar to the one shown in the photo below. We take the strip cut from the sleeve and stretch it, while the edges of the strip will twist inward, a very interesting effect will be obtained. We pin this strip to a rectangular fabric, fix it with needles and start sewing.

Ryushechki

When the strips were already sewn in certain places, it became clear that to complete the overall picture, some unusual diluting element should appear, such an element we will have ruffles. There will not be many of them, but they will allow you to complete the process and add unusualness to the overall picture. How to make them becomes clear from the picture below.

Sew together

Now we have little to do, we sew the two halves of the rectangles together and fill the middle of the pillow with the material convenient for you, which is in the house.

Finished pillow

So that is all. the pillow is ready, it attracts the attention of both children and adults. And the process of its manufacture is simple and fast enough. No more throwing away T-shirts or stuffing them in the closet, now they can bring benefit and comfort to your home.

Even bedrooms from Italy Trend, Magic, La Star from Camelgroup can be additionally equipped with such pillows. The main thing is to find a suitable pattern, a T-shirt of the right quality, and you can get creative at any minute, spending time usefully and really saving your home budget.

It is advisable to buy men's T-shirts https://xoxshop.ru/catalog/muzhskie-futbolki-i-majki with pictures and inscriptions. T-shirts made of cotton, jersey or knitwear are best for making this craft. The work will be done using the patchwork technique, so 10-15 T-shirts will be required, depending on the size of the pattern.

For manufacturing you will need:

Men's T-Shirts
sintepon
scissors
thread / needle / sewing machine

Manufacturing process

1. Cut out the patterned fabric (including the back of the T-shirt) in a square / rectangular shape. Think about how the shreds should be located on the future pillow.

2. Place a synthetic winterizer between all the pieces. It is advisable to use a thinner synthetic winterizer.

3. On top of the workpiece, make a few curly seams on a sewing machine.

4. Sew the finished squares and rectangles together into one product.

5. Already on the finished product with scissors make a fringe.

A pair of pillows in the same style are enough to liven up and decorate the interior of a living room or children's room.

Pillows from old T-shirts can be made in several ways. Let's start with the simplest.

T-shirt in a beautiful bright color, but no longer necessary, we will wash and iron. Next, we cut off its upper part so that we get a square or rectangle, depending on its length. If the T-shirt is initially long, then the pillow will turn out to be rectangular.

Now we need to turn out the resulting square or rectangle and sew one side on a typewriter so that we get a cover. Sew the part that was cut off. I recommend using a medium or large zig-zag stitch. This will give the base of the pillow a presentation. We turn it out again.

Now we use the filler. I'll be banal and offer you a synthetic winterizer. This material is cheap, but it is the lightest and most durable. For such a small pillow, it is the best option, in my opinion. We fill it rather tightly, straighten it with our hands so that it does not clump, giving the pillow an aesthetic look. Now you can sew the open side on your hands. Next, we can decorate such a pillow.

For example, you can cut strips from the same T-shirt. Stretch the strips, creating soft tubes. And from these tubes you can make beautiful flowers. For example, roses. We sew these roses to the pillow with threads in the color of the fabric. Thus, you can close the entire pillow, or just one of its sides. Also note that you can use a T-shirt in a different color for contrast.

This is one of the options. It is not the easiest one, so I will offer you one more option.

We use an old, but well-preserved T-shirt. You can take a T-shirt with a print - a stripe is relevant, for example. This time we will use the entire T-shirt. Therefore, if you need a medium to small pillow, it is better to take it from the children's wardrobe.

The T-shirt is, of course, better to wash and iron.

Next, we suture the armholes of the sleeves and the neckline. We use any filler of your choice and fill the pillow well. If it seems to you that the pillow is too long, then at any time you can shorten the length of the T-shirt by cutting off the product at the bottom. Alternatively, the pillow can be decorative. Then you can make a cartoon face, a smiley face or suspenders with massive buttons in a nautical style on it.

If you decide to decorate your pillow with a smiley face, then you will need to use a yellow fabric. Better to take a T-shirt or cotton fabric. Draw a circle using a compass and cut it out. Sew on to the pillow. Next, we sew on the buttons - eyes. And we draw a mouth or embroider it using red threads. Or you can make an applique from a piece of red fabric.

The process of creating such a pillow is very interesting and exciting. This can be done with children by giving them some of the work. Experiment.
