I've been picking up sweaters this fall to make into pumpkins, snowmen and pillows. I've made several to give to friends.Just lay your sweater flat and cut off the main body front and back as large as you want the pillow to be. Include buttons, zippers and pockets for more interest. Pin and stitch around the sides, leaving an opening for the pillow form, turn and stuff. You can cut your sweater down to a standard form size, 14'-24" or leave it whatever size it comes to and make your own pillow form by sewing muslin into a bag, stuff and stitch closed. You can add vintage buttons, belts or fabric flowers for fun. Shirts and tees also make fun pillows.
