Memory Pillows
Patricia Greenawalt loves crafts. She has always loved making something new from something old. Her passion is to help others and her pillows provide a way for her to accomplish that passion. She takes old t-shirts and make pillows (remember me pillows or memory pillows) for youngsters to remember their grandparents or parents; for vets to remember their career; for others to remember whatever their most precious memories might be.
I am the President of the American Legion Auxiliary Unit #383 in Louisiana, We have made many small pillows for the veterans in the Southeast LA War Veterans Home and would love to know how you make the pillows pictured. Do you use only the T-shirt or do you double the fabric for durability? What size is best?
Toby, you can adjust the size of the pillow based on the size of the shirt you will be using.
If your shirt is very thin you may want to use a liner such as Fairfield’s Stabilize, Smooth or Structure to make the fabric easier to work with.
