Those old memorable high school and college shirts may not fit you now anymore, but that doesn’t mean have to throw or give them away, or to turn them into a rug just to make it useful again. Instead, you can give them a more meaningful new purpose by turning them into a T-shirt quilt!
Also called a memory quilt, this sewing project is definitely a great way of gathering and turning good old memories into something tangible. You can use all those special shirts that you have – from your baseball jersey back in grade school, to your student organization shirts in college. It’s the perfect reason not to say goodbye to your shirts with sentimental value!
It also makes a perfect DIY gift for birthdays, graduations, weddings or anniversaries. So the next time your family decides to clear up their closets, you can secretly keep their old favourite shirts and give it to them as gifts in the future!
Is this going to be your next sewing project?
