I have had not much time for crafting lately, but did manage to complete 2 t-shirt pillows for friends. For a Ramones fan I used my husband's old t-shirt, and because it is a bit worn and faded I felt it needed something extra on the back. the second pillow I made was for a friend that has a fanzine and radio program called WhatWave. Again using an old t-shirt of my husband I created this pillow. It is pretty stark the red and white, so I added red and white triangles for the back. I used "echt Hollands", "real Dutch", fabric, since his wife has some Dutch ancestry, I am sure she will appreciate it. I have zippered them for easy washing (thanks Toni!) but I had to line them first so they will not fray in washing....I am still working out the kinks on this as well as perfecting the inserting of zippers....have not worked with zippers in over 30 years!

Oh Carol, that second pillow is cool. I haven't had a chance to look at your blog recently. Did you post that one too? I still love the Ramones pillow. You do the things I wish I could take the time to do instead of cranking things out.

Thanks! no I have not posted it yet as it is a gift that has not been given yet! and I am not sure when I will see them... as their house is in the middle of renos and this is a sort thank-god-the-renos-are-done present.
