Sofa Bow Pillow From a Man’s Sweater
Returning readers to my blog know how much I love refashioning clothes, accessories, and home decorations from men’s clothing. Not only can loads of projects be made out of men’s stuff, but men’s clothing tends to be a lot sturdier than woman’s clothing — really, I’ve seen such a downgrade in the quality of women’s clothes. Making pillows from men’s sweaters are a great way to upcycle. You can also turn your old pillows and give them new life into sofa pillows (after a run through the washing machine). Double upcycle! 🙂

Repurposing Clothing into Decorations: Homemade Sweater Pillow
Here is another upcycled/repurposing idea for everyone: sweater pillows. Since I really needed some couch pillows, this makes for a fabulously frugal and really cool recycled clothing idea. I gave the argyle one to my sister-in-law.
My friend gave me an entire pile of clothing, yes, this is in addition to my already full closet full of my mother’s clothes! I can’t say no to a good clothing deal though, and free is the best deal of all. Out of that pile came a really cool men’s argyle sweater which was way too big for my husband but also way too cute to let go. Then, I came across this blog post about turning a sweater into a pillow and I had to try it out.
First, I cut up a regular bed pillow. We had a ton of extra down pillows in the house because my husband didn’t really like sleeping on them. I cut it in half, with lots of extra feathers left over to make a small pillow with some extra cloth from other clothing projects.
