Hi Cuties! Just dropped in to show you, I made this memory pillow for a lady, from her brothers shirt. I had never made one with the collar still on, so I hope she likes it. It was a size small and I had to leave some of the sleeve armhole on, so it wouldn’t be too tight, bc the snaps seemed kinda weak. She bought it this morning and so I got to it right away since I didn’t babysit today, Grayson is still off on Monday. It came out pretty good and easier than I thought. Have a nice day. I will spend the rest of the afternoon looking for things to bring to sew at Ashley’s that Nora can help with.❤️Toogie

It is one 16 inch pillow form inside of the shirt. The shirt opens at the snaps, you insert the pillow form, smooth the flap down the center front and snap the shirt back up.

After lunch she made a phone pillow. I forgot my pellets at home and my funnel, so tomorrow we will stuff the fat end that the phone rest on. I come back home once Grayson gets back from work. They were going to his brother's for their 4th BBQ and swimming.

It looks like I will be robbing Peter to pay Paul. I didn't get to sew today with all I did with and for the kids. Nora sewed after lunch but I will be robbing from the bus gifts for the BBQ the 8th and making more to replace for the bus gifts of what I 'stole'. I found out I have the rest of the month......

She liked it so for that I am pleased. It really was simple to do. Thanks Shirley.

After I cut my pillow shape out I used the tail of the shirt and made a flap. I edge finished 3 sides and sewed the hem edge to the neck/collar. Thanks

I don't understand this--I am a visual person...but I think it is absolutely ingenious.

I'm sorry, I don't think I took any pictures but I will look back on my phone. There are you tube videos showing how to. I think I used this idea:

She already came back and picked it up. She said it looked good, thanks.
