Curbly reader Chrissann sent me a link to her awesome DIY pillow idea recently and I am SO glad she did! It is the single most creative (and cute) repurposing project I have ever seen. Also? Her "before and after" photos totally cracked me up:

See? Ha! Anyway, Chrissann had the most brilliant idea of turning her husband's worn out shirts into these perfectly quirky throw pillows. Aren't they adorable? Here's what you'll need:
- clean, ironed button-up shirts (one per pillow)
- pillow forms
- sewing machine or handheld stitcher
- scissors
- pins

Can someone please send me the picture and instructions for the memorial shirts? I saw them and want to make them for my family as my husband just passed away and I can't find them any more. Please help!

Cute! I just saved a few favorite shirts that I recently shrunk out of :^D for a project like this. I'll be making them for the guest bedroom.

I love "nerdy" crafts! The glasses are an excellent touch!

So nice! I did a similar versión a few months ago (here in spanish) but with the collar of the shirt on it. More obvious maybe. I will try this version with the funny complements. I think I will try the sunglasses.
