what to do with tshirts

[kappa2]

So...at the end of college I had a million shirts from high school/college/sorority/whatever that I knew I shouldn't be wearing as a "grown up", but they had such sentimental value, I couldn't give them up. Many of them were cut into a 12x12 square and put in a scrapbook, but I thought this was a really cute idea for those of you still in college...

What? You mean there's a rule against grown-ups wearing their Greek shirts when they graduate to Grown-Up Land? Somebody forgot to tell me!!

There is a point in time, I think, when wearing your bid-day shirt which is 20 years old is a bit much. But letters - heck, I'll be wearing my letters when I'm 95!

Thank you, Alum, for the wonderful link to the pre-existing thread about this. I couldn't find it before--you are amazing!!

And yes-letters are letters 'til the day we die, but things like "The Mud Pit Games", "Hot-Tub-a-Thon", and "Prom Night!!" have got to go when you could run into an important client at the gym.

ha ha!

Not to mention the Sloppy Seconds Mixer shirt that one Mizzou grad wanted in a quilt that she commissioned. Ick!

They forgot to tell me too. In fact, my chapter was big on making our own....er..."me-nique" shirts and I have continued to do that at my job (I work in a custom shirt printing shop so I make a new shirt for myself every couple of months).

I gave all of my T's away when I graduated and kind of wish that I hadn't. I would love to make a quilt. I made my bid day shirt into a throw pillow. It was blue with dancing Raggedy Anns so I used blue gingham on the back side of the pillow. It turned out really cute.
