How to Make a Pillow out of a Cami

How to Make a Pillow out of a Cami

Yeah, let's do this.

Materials:
-A cami/ tanktop (I used an old camp that I had tie-dyed)
-Stuffing
-A marker
-Straight edge
-Anything you need to hand and machine sew
-Pins

Step one: Turn the cami inside out, and cut out the built in bra (if there is one)


Step two: Place cami backside up (still inside out) and draw a line where the back and front overlap

Step three: Cut along that line


Step four: Pin and sew along that line



Step 5: Pin and sew ONLY 3/4 of the way across the bottom hem.

Step six: Using the hole you left open, turn the pillow right-side-out.


Step seven: Fill the pillow with stuffing! Make sure to reach into the corners.

Step eight: Pinch the hole together and pin it closed.


Step nine: Hand sew the hole with this stitch:






Step ten: Knot and cut off the string, take out all pins.



CONGRATS! You have a homemade pillow!

YAY! What do you think of my tutorial? Let me know in the comments :)
