Pillow Back = Shirt Front




My favourite way to finish off a pillow top: chop out the front of a thrifted buttondown shirt, and use it as the back of a pillow! The button closures are cute and, more importantly, already there. So, you get to look clever and have a quick, professional-looking finish all at the same time.

What will you think of next?! (or Why didn't I think of that?!!) Love it!

Wow! Such genius!! You never cease to amaze me. I am definitely trying this on my next pillow.

What a neat and convenient idea... no zippers needed... because you can unbutton the shirt to get the pillow out for washing (have dog....therefore, dog hair, therefore washable covers are a must!) awesome

This a brilliant idea, I usually make cushions with envelope backs because I'm too lazy to put zippers in, but this is way better!
