This is a version from Tif M. s project. THANKYOU FOR THE INSPIRATION :)

This cost me absolutly nothing cuz the white fabric, snap buttons and t shirts were given to me, as well as the pillow insert. yay for hand me downs :P

Basically just drew a picture of the bulldog on baking paper, cut it out to make a pattern, pinned that onto my appropriate coloured t shirt and cut it out, u jst have to fiddle around with it to get the pieces where you want them, i put a pin ever 1/2 inch cuz i really wanted to it be flat with no creases, then you just use a small zigzag stitch and alot of patience and stitch around the border of every piece. its worth the effort, cuz my husband loves it <3

then, i sewed the 2 cut white fabric squares (1 of course having the bulldog on it) wrong sides together, only sew 3 sides!

then depending what kind of snap buttons u have ( i had ones that were already on a strip of fabric, they jst needed to be sewed onto the pillow) attach ur buttons along the open side,

turn the pillow right side out,

insert your pillow - snap it closed and SHABAM! i freakin awesome pillow
