Tutorial: Keepsake t-shirt pillows with knotted corners

Whether it’s a favorite team, a hard run 5k, an awesome concert, most of us have a t-shirt – or two, or three, or more – that is special to us. Sew4Home shows how you can turn that shirt into a keepsake pillow. The knotted corners are a neat twist. You can make them from the same shirt as the rest of the pillow, or you can make them from another shirt for contrasting knots. This would be a neat project to make for a child going off to college, using t-shirts from their high school to remind them of home. Follow the link for the tutorial:
