EASY UPCYCLED SWEATSHIRT PILLOW STUFFED WITH POLY-FIL®

I love crafting everyday items into keepsakes for family and friends. Those
projects made with love are extra special gifts. This Easy Upcycled Sweatshirt
Pillow Stuffed with Poly-Fil® started out as a Birthday present bought in the
wrong size that couldn’t be returned. My nephew was totally bummed when he tried
to try it on and it was too small. I immediately thought I could turn it into a
pillow!
Spend some time with the kiddos and create a keepsake from a sweatshirt or
hoodie.
* Poly-Fil® from Fairfield World™
* Sweatshirt (or Tee Shirt)
* Sewing Machine
* Thread with Bobbin
* Straight Pins
* Fabric Scissors – I love my Amplify Mixed Media Fiskars!
* Metal Ruler or Yardstick
* White Chalk Pencil
To begin the Easy Upcycled Sweatshirt Pillow, gather all supplies. Decide how
much of the sweatshirt you want to be a pillow. Jonathan wanted to keep the
pocket part of the hoodie but didn’t want the hood or sleeves.
TRENDING VIDEOS
Turn the sweatshirt inside out and on a flat surface, measure out a rectangle,
and mark with a chalk pencil.
Cut out the sweatshirt rectangles along the marked lines with fabric scissors.
These Fiskars Amplify Mixed Media Shears are perfect for heavy and bulky
fabrics.
Secure the three cut sides with straight pins, leaving the bottom cuffed edge
open. I love these extra long straight pins with colored heads.
Sew the cut edges on a sewing machine with matching colored thread, remembering
to backstitch at the beginning and end. I also like to backstitch the corners.
Trim threads, remove straight pins and turn the sweatshirt pillow right side
out. Stuff with Poly-Fil® from Fairfield World™. I recently discovered
pre-threaded bobbins and I have to say my life is changed forever!
Stuff pillow firmly with Poly-Fil® from Fairfield World™ making sure to get into
the corners.
Push Poly-Fil® from Fairfield World™ stuffing down into the pillow and secure
bottom cuff edge with straight pins. Sew the bottom edge of the pillow closed
with a sewing machine, remembering to backstitch at the beginning and end.
Remove straight pins and fluff stuffing back into all areas of the sweatshirt
pillow.
I hope you have enjoyed my Easy Upcycled Sweatshirt Pillow and that you will use
my tutorial as a jumping-off point to showcase YOUR Fairfield World creativity!
With a wide variety of stuffing, pellets, weighted blankets, pillow forms, quilt
batting and more the makers of Poly-Fil have you covered for all of your
crafting needs! For a TON of inspiration, check out the Fairfield Instagram
account and Facebook page.
This Easy Upcycled Sweatshirt Pillow is a perfect beginner sewing project to
complete with tweens and teens. Poly-Fil® from Fairfield World™ is the perfect
stuffing for all your upcycled and recycled projects! Features 100% premium
polyester fiber, superior resiliency, and smooth consistency. It is made from
100% recycled polyester fiber, washable, and non-allergenic. Plus Poly-Fil® is
proudly made in the USA, and unconditionally guaranteed.
I have fun projects created with Fairfield World all over my blog, here are a

This may seem like a really stupid question and I feel like the dumbest rock
in the box, but how do you sew your last closing seam? It looks like you have
a trick to hiding those ugly, completion stitches. I hate that final bit of
seam because it always shows and detracts from the rest of the smooth lines.
i try to be real sneaky and hand stitch under the edges to hide the thread.
Like a surgeon does to keep from leaving railroad track puncture dots and a
ridge. Or in upholstering when using a curved needle under the material.
Quite frankly, it's a pain. I sew on the wrong side as far as possible before
turning so the seams are all neat and stitching stays on the inside. The way
you have the pins in the material it doesn't look like you simply stitched on
the outside (right side of material) being left with that ugly ridge. Do you
have a secret you could share? i would LOVE to learn it! Thank you. Your
pillows are adorable and what a lovely way to give extra life to a cherished
garment.

I used Velcro for the 4th side. Easy to add, easy to add more fluff and easy
to wash!
