Do you have an old bed sheet that has seen better days, which you are
considering throwing away?
Don't throw it away?
Recycle it.
Change it into a body pillow.
Do you intend to throw that soft, comfortable bed sheet because it has little
tears, stains or holes in it?
Keep it.
You can use that as stuffing for your body pillow.
Before you start, have both bed sheets bleached, washed and dry to ensure you
have totally clean materials to start with.
Then take the best looking old bed sheet and fold it in half lengthwise, and
half across the width, so you have a rectangle a quarter of the size of the
original bedsheet. When you fold the bed sheet, hide the defects in the folds so
the rectangle you get would show no stains or tears.
Iron this rectangle flat. Pay attention to the sides. Then sew down the 3
open edges. You should have a nice rectangle that stays put without any
openings.
Fold this rectangle lengthwise. This is going to be the shape of your body
pillow.
Sew along the outer edges of this long rectangle, leaving one narrow side
open for the stuffing.
Now turn the rectangle inside out and stuff it with the other bed sheet to
plump it up.
Sew the opening shut and you have a brand new body pillow.
