Tshirt Extravaganza

How many people do you know who say they don't have enough Tshirts?  I know exactly zero!  These days, every organization, activity, special event, parade, family reunion, and because it's the first Tuesday of the New Moon requires a special shirt!  What can you do with all those shirts?  I'm glad you asked!  We make several items including the quilts we shared in last week's blog.

Today, i want to show you a few more things that we have made with Tshirts.  Bears, pillows, and nighties..........oh my!!

Infant and toddler nighties  Left:  Dad's shirt repurposed for his newborn daughter.  Right:  Cancer awareness shirts repurposed to honor a new grandmother of twins fighting cancer at the time.  She's a survivor now!



Teddy bears made to match the recipients' tshirt quilts we also made.  They had a few too many designs to fit on their quilts but designs too good to end up in the scrap bag.





Below:  Teddy bears, horses, donkeys, unicorn, dogs, cats, frog, elephant





Children's clothing

These are just a sampling of what we can do with tshirts.  Ideas and opportunities are endless - and we always welcome a challenge!
