My husband died suddenly 11 years ago and I still haven’t been able to pass his clothes on, but after watching this I think I’ll make a quilt out of his shirts that really remind me of him & then donate the rest to a veterans organization. I knew there was a reason I subscribed to you lol. Thank you
My daughter-in-law's father died unexpectedly at 57. His wife gave me 20 of his shirts and I made 4 large throw quilts for the family: one for his wife and one for each of the three siblings. It was a fulfilling experience for me and hopefully a blessingfor them. There are still quite a few smaller scraps left. I was amazed at how much fabric is in a man's long sleeved shirt!
This is what quilting used to be. People took the good parts of worn clothing and made something beautiful and warm. They didn't purchase expensive fabric to cut up into little pieces.
I would never imagined a few shirts could make such a lovely, calm quilt.
I really love how you use and incorporate fabrics "outside" the bolt. I think its important for people to understand they can sew frugally and on a small budget. One does not need fancy patterns or designer fabric precuts to make a quilt.
Loving this. I am addicted to recycling mens shirts. Just zigzagged a whole bunch of the buttonhole strips from the shirt fronts on a foundation fabric and made a 18” pillow for my daughter. Used one of her Dads shirts as the back of pillow. She loved it and I got a warm squishy hug from her. Made this Mama’s heart happy.
Yes! Save those buttons.
Beautiful quilt. It’s so satisfying to re-invent shirt fabric.
Oh my Goodness. You were reading my mind again. I don’t have a lot of fabric scraps but I have ridiculous piles of clothes I can’t throw away.
This was eye opening for me. I never dreamed you could get that much fabric from a shirt.
This couldn't have come at a better time, I have been collecting mens shirts from goodwill
The quilt turned out very nice.....I can see it as a man or boy's quilt. I, too, save buttons. pleasure to watch
I really like that idea. My Pops passed away, great way to recycle his shirts for family.
Whenever i go to garage sales, thrift stores, i look at the quality of the garment, thinking of possibilities. Love this idea. Good job!
So clever and so beautiful
YES! So much fabric to be found in men’s cotton shirts! I used them for making baby quilts for my grandbabies. I was a new quilter so went that route with thrift store shirts instead of expensive quilting cotton. They turned out cute and are used and loved.
After finding you on UA-cam, I wouldn’t think of sitting down to sew/quilt without having your channel on. I love everything about it. It’s so peaceful and calming and I always learn something new. Love scrappy quilts and learning to be more frugal and creative (using scraps, shirts, etc.) Thanks so much for sharing your talents with us!
My father-in-law died this last year. I took all of his cotton shirts. I like this block. I'm thinking of making a pillow for his wife, each child and grandchild, rather than one quilt. Thanks for sharing! I will probably use this block.
What a beautiful quilt you have made! I love the design and you showing how you used something you already had that would have been given away or donated, you used to make a beautiful quilt. Thank you. What does your husband think of the quilt?
I love repurposing flannelette shirts, and pyjamas, just using squares, but how pretty is this block …. I must give it a try. I am also a saver of buttons and zips much to my friends horror. I love being thrifty and your quilt looks gorgeous
