Memory cushion

Fabratastic is a small British company that offers unique pillows that are ideal for someone in mourning. Send its tailors a shirt belonging to a departed friend or relative, and they'll send it back as a pillow. Each one comes embroidered with a message to help you grieve, remember, and heal.The company has been flooded with orders, so it won't take any more until after Christmas. I'm not surprised. It's a wonderful service.-via Laughing Squid...

A loved one's passing is never easy. But you can make a keepsake Memory Pillow from a shirt of theirs. Here's how I made one in two hours.

From the scraps of the memory quilt I made last year, I created a simple, 18 x 18 improv pillow for another family member. Strip sets are a great way to use a variety of prints. I quilted it with straight lines to keep the focus on the fabrics, which were cut from men's dress shirts. This type of design works just as well oriented in horizontal or vertical stripes. It's a quick project that will be meaningful to the recipient.

In this post, I am showing you how to turn an old shirt into a memory cushion. Create a sentimental keepsake to give as a gift.
