2025 OneThing #50 - Make a Pillow for Viv from Lou Shirts

I got this one done by Tuesday! The internment for Lou (with honor guard) was at Fort Snelling on Wednesday, November 12 and I knew I'd see my sister-in-law. This isn't the most attractive pillow, but I had given away too many of his nicer shirts for family members to wear. (She asked me to make a pillow from his shirts.)

I had first used a navy blue pajama shirt with a slight white crosshatch pattern, but I discovered that the fabric was so thin that it just wouldn't do. So I made the back and heart out of a flannel shirt and a pale blue pajama top. There's a zipper at the bottom so she can take it off to launder it or to see the other PJ shirt.

I have been very much in "get 'r done" mode lately!

It felt nice to give this to her along with some other items. It was nice to honor my father-in-law and be together with family.
