Hello Readers. It's getting cooler and the leaves are falling from the trees. It's time to do something with this denim shirt. It is covered with leaves. And I mean covered.
I didn't like this shirt on me very much. The leaves and vines were a very busy pattern and I felt absolutely overwhelmed. The denim was also very thick and heavy. It looked like a shirt but it felt more like a jacket. So what should I do with it?
That's right I made a pillow. A pillow that looks perfect for Fall. I stitched a closed square. Then I used the buttons to open and close the pillow and put in the pillow form. What about those sleeves? They must be good for something right?
Could I use it to dress up these candles?
I made some basic tubes and stuck the candles inside. Will they catch fire if I light the candles? I don't know..... I am concerned... I won't light them with the fabric on them. They smell good without the open flame anyway. I do like the changing seasons and the colors of the leaves. I just didn't like them all over me. They are better on this pillow.
Thanks for reading along, Now go make something fun for yourself.
***Year End update-This pillow sat on that chair all the fall. When I put out Christmas decorations I put it away. I love denim so I really liked this. As a pillow. I still hate it as a top.

That is a great idea for that shirt. I do like the leafy pattern and, like you, I would have wanted to save it somehow. The faces you sometimes make in the "before" photos crack me up! That's also how I feel with some garments I try on :)
Hi Jenny_o
Thanks for the comment. I always try to make my feelings clear in the photos. I am glad you like them. This shirt was much better as a pillow.
