pillowed t-shirt

Everyone loves t-shirt. Not only because it is comfortable, ever-fashionable, unisex-able, colorful, black or white, printed, non-printed, collared, non-collared, buttoned, non-buttoned, branded, less-branded, xs, s, m, l, xl, double xl, super duper large, round-neck, v-neck, long sleeves, short sleeves, no sleeves, 100% cotton, 100% polyester fiber, 50% cotton-50% polyester fiber, custom-made, non-custom-made, paid by yourself, paid by your mom, a gift from your bf/gf, a gift from your ex bf/gf or simply an adoption from the second-hand store, a t-shirt is something hard to throw away. Even if it is too old or your mom threatened to throw it out during the annual clean-up day, you crossed your fingers to tell the lie that you will wear it tomorrow or maybe the day after tomorrow or the day after after tomorrow and so on. It just feels hard to throw it out from your closet till the day, mr. cockroach or mrs. mice comes over for a visit and had a few bites as dessert with your favorite Tee, it’s too late then.

Here’s a tip for you to enable your t-shirt by staying by your side without feeling insecure through the threatening of your mom, mr. cockroach or mrs. mice. Instead of staying on the same spot in your closet for years, why don’t you evolve it? You can turn it into a bag, pouch, mobile-pouch, coaster or any other thing which can relate to cloth. For me, I love my tees because of the printed art and its comfort. And so, here we are… the evolution of T-shirt, pilloweeeeeed T-shirt!

You just need to pick your favorite Tee, cut it into your desired shape, normally it’s square or rectangular, sew the sides, leave a small hole on one of the sides, reverse it out and stuck in cotton wools, sew the hole and there you go… a t-shirt pillow. To me, cotton wool might be non-hygienic or when the day comes, the pillow will be as slim as your next door neighbor’s bamboo stick and so, I used the other remaining of my t-shirts and cut it into small pieces ranging from 1.5cm x 1.5cm and stuck it in until the pillow puff up to my desired comfort.

(FYI: Be sure that the shirt is not suit for other people to wear, e.g.: bleached, a hole at some area which you can’t wear anymore, yellowish residue at the armpit area, etc, else, why don’t you pass it to someone who will appreciate it instead of letting it lay in the closed closet of spider webs.)
