My daughter had two old camp shirts. One was a tie-die and the other had the name of the camp. They were too small and had a couple of stains. After washing, I turned the tie-died one into a small pillow. I cut the camp name out of the other shirt. Before I stuffed the pillow I sewed on the camp name. Now my daughter has a wonderful keepsake of her camp time!
That is such a wonderful idea. I make quilts for my grandaughter and in one of the quilts, I cut up some of the souvenir items we received when we went to Australia for a pilgrimage to see the Pope and made it one of the squares so that she will be able to remember what year we went and where.
I have been loth to throw out a T shirt I bought for one of my sons back in 1987 when I was holidaying in the USA. It is of the Pocono Mountains. I like this idea and intend trying it. Thanks!
What a great idea. I already make pillows and my husband and I took a cross country trip and he bought a t-shirt from every state. They are very old now. I'll do exactly as you say, but where am I going to put 48+pillows? Maybe I'll donate them to friends who are natives of those states. What do you think? Marcia
