T-shirt Memory Blankets

Each blanket is unique and custom crafted into a cozy blanket using all your special clothing pieces.  Your blanket will be something you can use on a daily basis while keeping your memories close. Almost any kind of garment can be used as long as it can be cut into a usable size block.

I offer a few different style options you can choose from…Block Style, Modified Block Style and Mosaic Style.  However, sometimes the designs and decals on the shirts/clothing submitted will dictate what blanket style would look best.

Basic Block Layout

The block layout is designed using all equal size blocks (12” tshirt squares) sewn together in a grid-like pattern for the top of the blanket, and a coordinating fleece or flannel fabric will be used for the back.

For the Block-style, all designs/shirt images will need to fit into a 13” x 13” square…the extra inch needed for sewing. The squares will be cut to display to best portion or as much of the image as possible.  Some parts of the designs could end up getting cut off if it doesn’t completely fit.

Modified Block Layout 

This style is similar to the Basic Block Style, but allows for 2-3 different sized blocks. All pieces will have the same 12” width, but the height measurement can be 8”, 12”, 16” or 20”.  This will allow for more flexibility in order to make sure tshirt designs don’t get cut off.

Pricing for this style is same as the basic Block Layout.  Number of shirts/designs needed for specific size blankets may vary slightly to that listed above as well.

Mosaic Layout

The Mosaic layout offers an uneven, random, and scattered design as shirts are cut into different shapes and sizes, and sewn together in a fun pattern.  Also includes a coordinating fleece or flannel as the backing.

The Mosaic layout is a great option when you have a lot of shirts to fit onto one blanket.  This style accommodates up to 15 different size blocks. If you have shirts with designs of all sizes, this is the way to go. Chest pockets, small logos, words or designs on sleeves or pants are a few examples of what can be used in addition to larger designs.

All Mosaic Layout style blankets will include a coordinating border as well as a coordinating fleece or flannel fabric backing.

More ordering information…

Shirts or items will need to be submitted to me cleaned, dried and folded.  (DO NOT CUT THEM!) 

You can mail them to me, drop on my front porch or we can arrange to meet.  If any shirts have a design you DON’T want to use, put an X in masking tape or painters tape across the design you don’t want to be included in the blanket…or pinning a note to it would also work.  If you have any special requests, please let me know.

Ideas for items that can be used in a blanket:

  • Tshirts of all kinds…vacations, high school events, college events, sorority/fraternity, fundraisers, running/biking/other races, concerts, travel, sports teams, clubs                    

  • Sweatshirts/sweatpants

Blankets will have an edge border and backing in a coordinating color flannel or fleece fabric.  I will text or email you some choices and you can decide what you’d like. Remember, this is all custom and made specifically for you. If you have a specific color you’d like to be used, please let me know.  If you’d prefer to add a little more personality and character to the blanket by choosing a patterned or fun backing, we can discuss this further.   

Please let me know if you have a specific date you’d like to have your blanket in-hand and I’ll see what I can do to meet your deadline.

A $100 deposit will be required upon submitting your shirts, with payment in full due upon completion.
