How to Make a Tee Shirt Pillowcase
If you have a favorite tee shirt that no longer fits but you can't bring yourself to throw it away, you can put it to use as a pillowcase. Tee shirts are also great to use if you can't find pillowcases to fit a certain bedroom theme but you do have shirts with the perfect color or design. Whatever the reason, tee shirt pillowcases are a fun and easy way to personalize your bed. This project requires little skill and can be done in a matter of minutes, regardless of your sewing experience.

Flatten one of the sleeves so it lays flat without any creases or wrinkles. Sew the sleeve shut along the seam with a sewing machine. Go from one end of the seam to the other. Cut off any excess thread with a pair of scissors. Repeat the process for the other sleeve.
