Take your older t-shirts from your sorority, bands, sports, college, high-school, girls/boy scouts, ANYTHING.. take those t-shirt and gather them up.
You can gather: boxers, handkerchiefs, scarves, socks, fabric..anything fabric and I’ll sew them together in a unique, custom-made t-shirt blanket that you can keep forever and cherish those memories by hugging them on the couch at night.
Keepsake…Heirloom… you can even pass it down.. how sweet…
Time Frame:
I normally ask for two weeks once I receive the shirts. However, I can finish a blanket sooner if needed.
I take pictures of every step and ask for approval before going on to the next step.
I will make the blanket however you want. Anything goes. One fixed price.
Price includes:
- Cutting of shirts
- Sewing, thread, time
- Fabric (if needed)
- Batting (1/2 inch padding)
I can work in payments if needed.

Please ask me anything. I am open and have fun doing this. I am approachable and flexible.
Thank you for your interest and time.
