If you have older children, you can use old shirts that they have grown out of. Not only does this result in more sustainable apparel for your baby, but it also allows them to feel involved in the production process of creating something for their new baby brother or sister. Superhero t-shirts are one great option for boys, but other children may love to turn their princess shirts into a cute blanket. Alternatively, you could use t-shirts that your baby has grown out of.

If you are already sold on the idea of creating a t-shirt blanket, you will absolutely love this concept too. A t-shirt pillow makes the ideal accompaniment to a custom blanket, acting as a stylish and bespoke addition to your bed or sofa.
A great way to recycle a much-loved t-shirt that no longer fits or has started to become faded and frayed, the best thing about choosing to make a t-shirt pillow is that you can make an amazing keepsake with only one shirt.
