"In 'How to sew a quilt", #3, sew which direction? #5, again which direction or side? #12,which way, how much? #15, Huh? That "explanation" was not informative to me and I've done miles of sewing. How is this for the beginner? Where are the pictures? At least there should be one picture of what your description will make, the way you are directing. So confusing."

"Very sad that all the patterns are free, and yet all the comments below are just complaints about what cannot be found or not given as patterns, do we realise the state of our world today when we cannot just be and enjoy?"

"I am echoing Bettyahe's comment. I would love an empire waist dress pattern too. I would like the neckline not to be a deep scoop too."

This is a really good idea. Imagine how soft and cozy the shirts feel from frequent washing, too. I also like how the button down front of one shirt is integrated so that a pillow insert can be used and removed if the pillow case needs washing.

What a super Cool cushion/pillow this beauty is and it is made with strips of men's shirts. How neat is that and look at the button plackets taken from a button down shirt that you cut and sew on the pillow so you can use it to open and close the pillow for washing. I like the convience of buttons or zippers on pillows because you can take insert out and wash the covers but sometimes I do not want to sew them on so I just close the pillow. I love love the quilted look of the pillow. It makes it look unique. This may take a little more patience but the tutorial is easy to follow and well worth it. A great memory pillow to make too. And do not forget you are recycling too.
