Things You'll Need:
- Two to four old t-shirts
- Thread
- Fiberfill pillow stuffing
- Scissors
- Straight pins
- Sewing machine
- Hand sewing needle
-
Step 1
Cut out a 12-inch by 12-inch section from each t-shirt. You should have four total shirt sections when you're finished.
-
Step 2
Select your two favorite pieces to make the pillow's front. Pin the pieces securely together to prepare them for sewing. Sew the two sections together using a 1/2-inch seam.
-
Step 3
Repeat the process with the back fabric pieces, matching them together at the center and sewing a 1/2-inch seam to attach them.
-
Step 4
Turn the front and back sections inside out, placing them together and pinning along the edges. Sew a 1/2-inch seam along the outside edges, leaving a 2-inch hole to accommodate the stuffing. You'll have a 12-inch by 24-inch pillow shape when you're finished.
-
Step 5
Turn the pillow right-side out, pulling the fabric through the small, leftover hole. Stuff the pillow with fiberfill, secure the hole and sew the opening shut by hand.
-
Step 6
Pull apart the pillow layers to allow air in, fluffing the fiberfill until it is evenly distributed. Lie down in your hammock to try out your new pillow while you take a snooze.
