I did some pillows for a co-worker out of her dad's shirts. She needed several for all of the grandkids, etc, but didn't keep very many of his shirts, so I had to use some of the sleeves. I took the travel pillows, cut them in half and then serged them closed again. I did try just serging them, but that didn't work so well - it was worth a try, I was in a hurry!
