No Sew Pillow Cover (from an old shirt)

This no sew pillow cover is probably my new favorite lazy DIY decor project.

It started with this old button-down shirt. It had a stain on the back of the collar. It was also starting to feel a bit snug. I really like the pattern, and thought it would make a great pillow cover with my fall and winter decor.

There was just one problem. See, I’m a bit lazy. I won’t break out the sewing machine unless I absolutely have to.

The solution: make a no-sew, lazy-girl, pillow cover.

I used a small rectangle pillow form (12″ x 18″). Since the shirt was a women’s size small, I couldn’t use a larger pillow. If you use a larger size, you could easily cover an 18″ x 18″ pillow.
