Eco Idea: Turn a T-Shirt into a Pillow

Around here, we never throw out old t-shirts. They get turned into rags for cleaning or some other use. But what do you do with the old t-shirts that you really LOVE, but just can't fit into any longer?

My mom, Julie, is so artistic and creative. Recently, she started turning old t-shirts that no longer fit into pillows! 
What a great idea!
I felt it was one worth sharing with all of you. 

I happened to have this peace t-shirt that I loved (so soft and comfy), but it had shrunk one too many times. So my mom made me a pillow with it. She used my old t-shirt for the front, her old cablenet sweater for the back, filled it with some beautiful fluffy wool I had, and stitched it up by hand. 
And wah-lah! 
You have a beautiful, comfy pillow that's handmade with love and a way to enjoy your favorite tee's for much longer....
