Shirt Throw Pillows


http://www.wholeliving.com/136425/buy-or-diy-recycled-crafts#134693

Got some tired-looking throw pillows and a shirt with a case of ring around the collar?

MY IDEA was to cut it out and sew it as a SLIP-ON. That way you just unbutton to wash it!!!
BUT the directions @ bottom would work too, I'm just  gonna' do it MY WAY! HomeMade Is Easy.

Recycled Craft: Dress-Shirt Pillow


Got some tired-looking throw pillows and a shirt with a case of ring-around-the-collar? Dress up your bed.
What You Need
  • Dress shirt
  • Iron
  • Pillow form or batting
  • Pen
  • Needle
  • Thread

1. Place pillow form on an ironed, buttoned shirt. (If using batting, try a pizza pan to get a nice circle.) Trace the shape with a pen and cut the fabric 1/2 inch outside your line.

2. With the outer panels facing each other, stitch all the way around -- about 1/2 inch inside the fabric edge.

3. Turn right-side out and unbutton to insert your pillow form or stuff with batting, then button back up. Your new pillowcase can be machine washed using the gentle cycle.
