this is the absolute best tutorial ever thank you so much for this Timothy!

[@muzettejones3002]

How about using the sleeves to stuff for a door rest to block the airout??? Nice craft!

[@normatulloch376]

Love your tutorials, you are such a great instructor. Thank you.

[@timothytotten9409]

How nice of you to say!!

[@kathyandthedogs626]

Tim, this is such a great idea! Please do a video about making labels!!!!!

[@timothytotten9409]

Coming soon!

[@epicnamepwns1242]

I could see making them from cool vintage thrift finds too, like Hawaiian prints for a summer/beachy look, flannel for autumn and winter coziness, or calicos for cottage core.

[@timothytotten9409]

Ooh, that’s a great idea!!

[@carbine090909]

You displayed such perseverance, lol! Great project, thank you! And so sweet of you to make those teddy bears. 😢

[@pwile2002]

You could use any extra fabric for the lining of a tote bag or zippered bag

[@timothytotten9409]

Great idea!

[@worab1]

Awesome Tim, thanks for sharing. Always enjoy your videos. Be well.... Rob

[@timothytotten9409]

Thanks, Rob!!

[@patriciaclevenstine-ali4714]

Great idea! ❤ Your tutorials !!!

[@jencaribardi3801]

This is such a good idea for a beginning sewist

[@richardb.6765]

I really enjoy your videos, Tim. While all of my sewing until now has been quiltmaking, you inspire me to try other things. I think the sleeves, stuffed and attached as part of the pillow is way creepy! lol That may be better as a halloween decoration with no emotional significance rather than as a memento of a loved one.

[@timothytotten9409]

That’s probably a good point!!

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

That’s a lovely idea. Now though you have me wondering about labels

[@elainelott9644]

This is a great idea !!! Thank you for the suggestion !!!

[@timothytotten9409]

Thanks!!

[@lindasikorski6254]

Love the sleeves (unstuffed). Like a Hug!

[@dianemalek436]

I was thinking along the same lines!

[@melissamiller2464]

Thank you a nice thoughtful easy project

[@germ6749]

Wonderful idea!

[@RoseOriginals]

Great idea! Simple, elegant and doable for any skill level. Thank you Timothy!

[@timothytotten9409]

Glad you like it!

[@patriciamaeanthony3838]

Great project for children learning to sew with parental guidance. Sofa pillows can be found at thrift stores and garage sales very inexpensively, and the color doesn’t matter because they will be covered by the shirt. Sleeves and cuffs can be added to the back as pockets. Shape doesn’t matter because they are obviously part of the shirt.

[@timothytotten9409]

That’s a great point about the thrift store pillows!!

[@cjfishtales2238]

This is an incredible project! It's an heirloom that anyone can make!

[@timothytotten9409]

Thanks for the kind words.

[@darlenemurphy4968]

[@judygiesbrecht8297]

Great project. Thank you Tim. ❤🇨🇦

[@timothytotten9409]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.

[@RejeanneCote-f8e]

Halloween decoration to put on your porch

[@timothytotten9409]

Especially if you use the sleeves! Lol

[@mariposasrizadas1924]

Hi Timothy 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉good 💡 idea 💡 thank for share

[@timothytotten9409]

You’re welcome 😊

[@brendastevens8325]

Thank you Timothy my brother passed away and I wanted to make a memory pillow for his daughter..oh and by the way his name is Timothy..thanks again

[@timothytotten9409]

Awwww. I’m sorry for your loss. This is a lovely way to let her hug his memory. I never wash shirts before I sew them in case they still smell like the person. Otherwise, you can also spray just a tiny bit of their cologne on the pillow.

[@dkurtz-r6i]

This is genius!

[@carol5330]

Brilliant idea! What about putting the label on the pocket, similar to what you see on shirts.

[@timothytotten9409]

Ooh, that’s a good idea!

[@rosewhaley3588]

Love this. Thank you.

[@janicestoodley936]

What a wonderful idea ❤

[@timothytotten9409]

Thank you! 😊

[@KL-ix1ks]

So cute! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

[@JulieMiner-m8h]

Thank you Tim, I also am not a fan of videos where they don't talk & just use hand gestures, also I like to see the sewing not just after they sew. But as you say each to their own. Blessings 🩵

[@Trayne1837]

I made about 12 shirts from my son's best friend's shirts for his family, for Christmas.

[@timothytotten9409]

That’s so lovely!

[@jeankipp7974]

I lost my husband in 2021 and made pillows and mug rugs foe the daughters and grand granddaughters…they loved them 16:26

[@timothytotten9409]

I love that! I’m sorry for your loss.

[@pwile2002]

Yes, please do a label video.

[@timothytotten9409]

It’s in the works!

[@guesswhonancy9028]

I made one of these for a friend that lost her husband I left the sleeves on and stuffed them I buttoned the sleeves together and she slips them around her she says it's like he is hugging her❤

[@timothytotten9409]

What a wonderful way to do it. I’m so glad she liked what you made for her.

[@vickieaxell9518]

❤

[@KATZ-y9q]

Where did you get that sewing guide?

[@karencooley6723]

I made my children and grandchildren out of my husband’s shirts.

[@timothytotten9409]

That is wonderful! So often a piece of clothing brings back such strong memories and it’s also hard, at times, to dispose of a loved one’s clothes. This helps with both situations. I bet your kids and grandkids hug those pillows quite often.

[@katrinaepperly7647]

I would love to see this done with a woman's shirt

[@timothytotten9409]

That could easily be done!! Have fun!
