The Pillows Band T Shirt

Hello, I went to gramercy NYC concert, I have quite the flcl collection here but I also am a HUGE pillows fan. I was not able to buy a single shirt even a size smaller for myself, as they instantly sold out. I am willing to paypal and pay price + shipping, and toss a few bucks if anyone could do me the favor of purchasing the Pillows grey shirt and the tour shirt for me in XL one of each. By the time I got in, It was sold out for all sizes above XL and my buddy got the last Large for just the band t-shirt. If anyone curious, I'm the guy with the nice collection of FLCL stuff and also posted the pillows youtube videos a few days back. Honestly, this was the one thing I was able to do all summer, and I'm sitting here regretting and sad I couldn't get the shirts at all. Any help would be appreciated as they are one of my favorite bands of all time.

Want a little insight into what my husband signed up for when he said 'I do'? I've had a box squirreled away in the bottom of the closet for the past three years. Every time my husband has announced that he's going to sort through his clothes and get rid of old items, I'd hover over him like a ravenous vulture circling a horse carcass.

I would wait on baited breath for an old button-down shirt to hit the 'give away' pile, swoop in, nab the shirt with my sharpened craft talons, and hastily slink off to the box in the bottom of my closet. I hope your mental image of me doing this involved drooling and a hunchback. So what, pray tell, could possibly evoke such strange behavior? I had the idea (yes, three years ago) to make a quilt for the duckling out of his dad's shirts. Aw, that's so sweet, except for two details - I don't know how to quilt, and I don't own a sewing machine. Holding onto the hope that those two facts would shift in my favor one day meant holding onto a musty box of discarded J.

Crew shirts for 1,095 days and counting. With no change in sight, I decided to curb my hoarding habits and do something with my secret stash of shirts before a family of squirrels decided to make a home in my closet.

Enter my new DIY project.daddy inspired throw pillows for the duckling's room. Supplies for Shirts - clean, ironed button down shirts (one per pillow) - or old pillows you want to cover - sewing machine or (I used a handheld stitcher) - scissors - fabric pen (optional) - pins The links above and in the supplies list for the felt accessories link to our Amazon page where you can purchase the craft supplies we use in this and other projects. We offer this so that you can 'one stop shop' for your supplies, and there's no additional charge to you. All of these items are also readily available at your local craft store. Instructions for Shirts As a disclaimer, I'm not a seamstress, so I just 'winged' it with a handheld stitcher. Real sewing avids will probably shutter in horror as I decribe how I made my pillow shams, but for those of you who are in the same boat as me, hopefully it will be helpful to see that as far as it relates to this project, the sewing part isn't an exact science. Start with a clean, ironed shirt.

If you hate ironing like me, you can skip the sleeves because you're just going to cut them off anyways. (Feel free to wear these like She-Ra cuffs. You know I did.). (Before we start stitching.if you are indeed using a sewing machine, now would probably be the time to repeat steps 4 and 5 on the other three sides and remove the pillow. Sew away!) For the handi-stitcher folk out there, this is where the 'not an exact science' part comes into play.

Keeping everything as is, I just started running the stitcher as close as possible to the pins, removing the pins as I went along. Once you get to the end, follow your stitcher's directions on how to secure the seam so it doesn't unravel. Like my striped pajama pants? Repeat steps 4 through 6 on the other three sides, starting with the opposite side (the collar), then moving to the sides under the arms. Also, I probably should've mentioned this earlier, but I also made a variation that includes the collar. It's not as cute, but my thought was that as the duckling gets older, this would be more of a 'play pillow', encouraging him to button and unbutton, add a bow tie or even pop the collar as he sees fit. Here's a picture for reference if you're interested in making a similar one.

Place the yarn then the batting inside the object, and place the other side on top. Press firmly. Allow some time for the glue to set and then stitch closed. For my heart, I wanted a little 'zhuzh' because hearts are awesome, so I did a (click for instructions) around the edge.

Once the pieces are set, accessorize them as you see fit with your puffy paints, more embroidery or glitter, since glitter makes everything super awesome. Once your felt accessories are done (and dry), place a little fabric glue on the inside seam of your shirt pocket (or in the case of the glasses, place glue on the back of the felt glasses and glue securely in place). I have a shirt that I made for my dad years before he passed away.

He wore that shirt until it was thread bare (even though I made him a complete replacement one, same color, same fabric, same size etc) Mom would hide it in the back of the closet and he would go through the closet until he found it again. That shirt became a joke between us, and my dad has now been gone 22 years. I miss him every day. He LOVED when I would make him shirts for work.

My mom gave that shirt to me when my dad died, knowing the 'love' that was in that shirt both by me making it for dad and dad wearing it until it was thread bare, so she wanted me to have it. This will be a PERFECT idea to use for that shirt that is folded and stored in my bottom dresser drawer!! I have an embroidery machine so I can even embroider a patch like the one on the western shirt shown! Thanks for the awesome idea!!! I can't wait to make it!!

I made 18 of these pillows from the shirts my hubby wore. I found it much easier to just buy your pillow forms, say 18' forms, using a measuring stick, simply measure 1 - 2' larger square on the shirt, mark and cut out.

Turn right sides together and sew. I have a serger so it was much easier than using a regular machine. But a regular machine is good too. Just be sure that if you are sewing the square with the wording on to sew that on before sewing pieces together.

The Pillows Band T Shirt

Needless to say my family was very happy with their pillows. My precious husband passed away the day after Thanksgiving last year and when I saw this post I just knew I had to do this for my family.

I made 18 of these pillows using all his shirts and used the top of the sleeves to make smaller ones for the Great Grandchildren. I found it easier to just use a measuring stick to measure on the shirts the size needed for the pillow forms. Then I just cut them out and turned right sides together and sewed them on my serger. I had the patches with the wording made and sewed them on before sewing them together. My family had a wonderful Easter when I presented them all with their 'Easter Baskets'. Many tears of happiness were shed.

Thanks for the awesome idea. This is a valid style of pattern drafting called 'draping'. I had never thought to do it on pillows, but it worked brilliantly!!! Typical a draped pattern is done by draping material over the model, pinning, cutting, sewing with a 1/2 inch seam allowance, then try it on and repeat the process until you have a perfectly fitted garment. This is an amazing idea!!!

I have a shirt from each of my grandparents and have been trying to figure out what to do with them. Awesome idea and they turned out great! Thanks for the inspiration!!!!!
