T-shirt Blankets are quick and easy if you want something fast, cheaper, and light.
These blankets are very comparable to Project Repats blankets.
A T-shirt blanket (often called a T-shirt quilt) is a functional keepsake made by sewing together the graphics from old T-shirts. It’s essentially a "memory quilt" that turns a drawer full of sentimental clutter into a cozy, usable piece of home decor.
Here is a breakdown of what makes them unique:
The Construction
The "Blocks": Each shirt is cut into a square or rectangle, usually focusing on the logo or graphic.
Interfacing: Since T-shirt fabric (jersey knit) is stretchy, a thin layer of non-stretch fabric called "interfacing" is ironed onto the back of each piece. This keeps the blanket from warping or pulling out of shape.
The Backing: The front is the collage of shirts, while the back is typically made of a cotton blend fabric.
What are the main differences between a blanket and a quilt?
1. There is NO batting (soft layer) between the top and the bottom
2. No quilting (stitching on the top design)
3. More "budget-friendly" option
4. Less wait time than the quilt.
NOTE: There are some restrictions to the T-shirt blanket.
Design: Checkered/Block style (no borders) only
Sizes: Memento, Throw and Twin Sizes only
Time frame: These are easily made from June to October and January to March.
Sadly, I can not make these in November/December OR April/May (Graduation and Christmas).
T-shirt Blanket
There is no return on custom made items.
T-shirt blankets last 5-10 years depending on how it is used. I cannot guarantee the timeframe of how long blankets will last.
