Save money by making pillows from old clothes

Postby Yugocean » 26 Jul 2022, 06:09

Fabrics are mandatory for all, but once they get old, torn or useless, you may reuse them as pillows and save on the cost of buying pillow.

1) Cut ordinary clothes according to the pillow size and make a sackbag.
2) Wash old socks and tattered soft clothes sew them, and fill them well in the sackbag instead of cotton.
3) Now sew the sackbag in proper manner, it will become a pillow-socket.
4) Cut the old shirt according to the pillow and make a pillow-cover.

Your pillow is ready. If you want to keep it in the drawing/ living room, then you can buy a new pillow-cover. You can also earn money by selling such pillows online.

Bonus -
When the pillow also become useless, it can be sewn with a thick fabric like jean to make it a doormat.

Many people do such work for a hobby, they also spend extravagantly in the hobby, but if such hobby is taken care of, then it can save as well as earn.

I collected old pillows, cut them out because most of the cottons are brittle , form into clumps , combined them into a pillow. I sew old shirts together to firm a sackbag, which is the pillow. Sew the edges and fluff it. Best to hang outside in the sun to kill the bacteria or germs

We can make a pillow from old clothes, but I don't think it will feel comfortable like a normal pillow. But if it's to save more money, then it's a great thing to do.

Sounds like a neat idea, one I'd like to try. However, I like a firm pillow and wonder if this method would result in a floppy one instead. Thanks for sharing, anyway :)

I also use old clothes to make dusters which are used to wipe school boards. They help me save the money of having to go and buy a new one.

This is a common practice. You repurpose the old clothes instead of buying ready made pillows. Learn it and save money.

Pillows and dusters are good ways to use old clothes. And they save money too.
