• Step 1

  Collect a bunch of T-shirts about 10-20 depending on size.

  Find some border fabric and back fabric, I used two bed sheets one black and one colourful win size to fit my bed.

  buy batting, interfacing and thread

• Step 2

  Lay out bottom sheet and measure in width of order on all sides

  Start cutting all your t-shirts into squares and rectangles to fit in your drawn section

  DON'T FORGET SEAM ALLOWENCE

• Step 3

  Iron on interfacing on ever t-shirt piece to stiffen for easier sewing

  watch out for delicate decals and rhinestones those burn or come off on your iron sometimes. I used an applique pressing sheet to save my t-shirts

• Step 4

  Sew them all together. Be patient this takes time

  cut out and sew bored on edges

• Step 5

  layer batting, top and back together, sew all the way around and flip right side out

• Step 6

  finish by top stitching or sewing buttons on every t-shirt corner

  Sew patches in blank pieces and over tears

• Step 7

  Keep nice and warn :D

I need to make one of these. I have so many well loved shirts with holes in the armpits. I can't bring myself to get rid of them but they're just taking up space in my wardrobe.
