How to Make a Memory Pillow from a Shirt | Beginner Sewing Tutorial

In this video, I’m turning one of my dad’s button-up shirts into a memory pillow for one of my siblings. 🤍 After losing my dad, I knew I wanted to find meaningful ways to use some of his clothing instead of letting it sit tucked away in a closet. This pillow is part of a memory-making series where I’ll be sharing different projects you can create from the clothing of someone you love. In this step-by-step sewing tutorial, I’ll show you how to turn a button-up shirt into a memory pillow while preserving some of the details that make the shirt feel like them. This is a simple project, even if you don’t have a lot of sewing experience. Throughout this series, I’ll be using my dad’s shirts and ties to make memory pillows, bears, fabric-wrapped frames, bookmarks, and other special keepsakes for our family. I hope these projects give you ideas for preserving the clothing, and the memories, of someone you love. ❤️ Shop all the supplies used here: https://a.co/d/03tH9Xo4 ✂️ SUPPLIES Button-up shirt Pillow insert (I used an 18"x18" pillow insert) Sewing machine Thread Fabric scissors or rotary cutter Cutting mat Pins or clips Ruler Glue stick pen Faux leather patch from Shine Bright Label Co.
