Shag Pillow

I have been wanting to make a shag pillow for a long time. I finally got around to it. I now know why they are so expensive to buy. It is very time consuming to make!

I had 3 t-shirts left over from a previous project. I cut 1 inch strips off the bottom.

Then I drew lines on a piece of pillow size canvas that are 1 quarter of inch apart

Then sewed and sewed and sewed each 3 inch strip on to the canvas.

I made a ruffle down the middle for the back side, my patience level could only do one side of strips for the shag!
