Pillow for My Grandson – Upcycling a T-Shirt

He wanted a new pillow



Once upon a time, there was a T-shirt that had become too small for him



  It was 40 cm tall, but I had to add a strip of fabric to make it wider. For that, I used an old shirt that belonged to his father. To practice, I sewed a zipper into the bottom. 



My grandson is happy

Dear Petra,
I’m glad you dared to try sewing in the zipper. That way, the pillowcase is, of course, removable and washable.

It’s great that your grandson’s favorite T-shirt has been given a new life as a pillowcase. The design is a real eye-catcher!

Best regards, Ina
