quilting series: t-shirt pillow



Make a great gift for your loved ones this holiday season! Come and join us in the studio to make a quick and easy keepsake project - we'll turn any graphic t-shirt (college, high school, sports, etc.) into a fun pillow with coordinating fabric borders.

During this 3-hour class, students will start off planning the design of their pillow with our instructor Mandy.  After finalizing the design, students will shop downstairs for their border and pillow back fabrics, and then head back upstairs to the sewing studio.  The remainder of the class time will include cutting, interfacing, and sewing the pillow to completion with an envelope back. Students will have the ability to customize the bordering to their liking, resulting in a 16" or 18" pillow (final size depends on the T-shirt size and final design).

This class is suitable for confident beginner sewists who can thread and operate a sewing machine independently and have experience using a rotary cutter.  Graduates of our Quilting 101 or Sewing 101 Intensive classes are encouraged to register for this class!

Required Materials:
- (1) T-Shirt of your choosing
- 5/8 yd of Pellon SF101
- (1) square pillow insert - either 16" or 18" - wait until you've finalized your design to purchase the pillow insert
- border and pillow back fabrics - see "Fabric Notes" below

Fabric Notes:
- For the border and pillow back fabric(s) - actual yardage needed depends on the final design.  We recommend that students pick out their fabrics before class, and wait until the final design has been determined to know how much fabric to cut.  Our staff will cut your fabrics for you downstairs in the shop and then you can return to the studio to begin sewing.
- We recommend 1/4 yd for any fabrics you would like to use on the front of the pillow for border/sashing/cornerstones, and 5/8 yd for your pillow back fabric.

Required Tools:
rotary cutter
acrylic ruler
fabric scissors
chalk or frixion marker
pins or clips
