what to do with tshirts

[SWTXBelle]

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!

I have no idea! I had to ask my teenager what sloppy seconds was and I was somewhat upset that she knew the answer. The shirt was white with olive green letters in a drippy looking font. Gross, gross, gross.... The quilt turned out quite nicely but I always wondered if the mom (who paid for the quilt) knew what that term meant.


Back on the subject of nice tshirt quilts, they can be very attractive. I made a wallhanging of MIT and SAE shirts for my brother with the coordinating fabric of a dark purple batik. I also made 2 for the D. The one on her college bed used a medium orange batik and incorporated all her activity shirts from hs. The wallhanging one was a running theme and used all her road race and xc/track invitational shirts. The coordinating fabric is of women running. I am in the design stage of one now that will have the student's crew and swim team activities. She probably will go with a purple batik (school colors) or a wavy fabric that reflects her interest in water sports.
