I have an old t-shirt that I love. I bought it while I was studying abroad in Rome, Italy. And for many years, I have worn it. Actually I have worn it out. Wearing it now is just indecent…and a little drafty.

Here is my beautiful t-shirt that is a little stained from some home hair-coloring experiments among other trials.

So I wanted to keep it but I know it is no longer wearable. So t-shirt meet pillow.

And some other coordinating fabric and ribbon.

And a hot iron, because you are looking a little wrinkly.

Okay, note to self – need to get sewing machine. This is the Olympics of hand sewing.

Smile for the photo.

Ha ha. Yes, your backside is very nice but that isn’t what I wanted to show everyone.

What a great way to be able to enjoy my beloved t-shirt for a few more years.
