• Step 1

  First grab your t-shirts and cut to size. This version took 24, 12"x12" panels from 12 t-shirts. I used the big design on the front, then also cut a plain design from the back. Some of these I left blank, but others I appliquéd on pictures I'd rescued from old knickers! You can do as you like, as long as you end up with the right number :)

• Step 2

  Sew into four columns of six t-shirt panels. They should be one above the other NOT side by side.
  Take care with colours - try to get a pattern going, or at least make sure to evenly distribute colours. Whatever you think looks nice really.

• Step 3

  Sew each column together side by side. This should create a big sheet of panels, six rows (up/down) by four columns(left/right). It measures approx 72"x48", or actually a bit less because of the seam allowance.

• Step 4

  Hew around the edge of your big sheet to make it nice and neat.

• Step 5

  Finally, sew your sheet onto your fleece blanket, taking care to centre it and pin it carefully first.
