I went to the zoo today and knew it would be a perfect day to wear my new cape and hat since it was supposed to be 60° today . Remember the one I made a couple of weeks ago? http://missyscakesandaprons.blogspot.com/2011/12/i-wore-flannel-sheet-to-church-today.html . It was a gorgeous day! I wanted a matching purse and since I had some fabric leftover I decided to make one last night. Since I had used all the blue from the sheet, I needed to find some more blue. I found some old valances in my stash that was perfect! I really had no idea what I was doing, but I will try to give you an idea how I made my purse. First I used a crock pot lid to give me the rounded bottom. I then cut straight up the sides. I also used this same pattern for a heavy interfacing and the blue for the lining. I put a pocket all the way across, I wish I had pulled it down a little though since it ended up being right at the top. I put another blue pocket underneath this one to give a layered (or graduated) pocket. I wish I had sewn up the middle because when I put the pleat in the front it made this pocket stick out too much. I'm going to hand stitch it down. Sew this on just the blue and interfacing so your stitches don't show on the outside. I forgot to take anymore pictures, sorry. I also put two pockets the sizes of my camera and phone on the other side. I have some little pockets on my camera pocket because I used the "holes" from where the curtain rod would have gone and had them on the top rather then sewing another hem down for the top of the pocket.Here is a picture of the inside of my purse. After I had sewn on the pockets, I put a pleat in the middle of the bag on both sides and then rolled down towards the front to give myself a blue trim. Sew along the trim. Sew the two sides together right sides together. Clip the edges to make it easier to turn. You should probably zig zag stitch or serge it, but I didn't. I turned it inside out and sewed the straps on. I made the straps too long, but they cover my messy seams! If you have any questions, leave me your email add. and I will try to answer them! So, I made a hat, cape and purse out of one queen size flat sheet and one valance for the sum of $1! I still need to add navy blue pockets to my cape(and inside pockets for my gloves)and some sort of snap to my purse, but I like it! Wanna see what I did at the zoo? I rode a camel! Please ignore my boots! The camel also tried to eat my ruffle! LOL She was very friendly! I petted a goat. I tried to pet a giraffe. And my husband fed the birds. This bird was so funny because he kept trying to get in my husband's coat. I saw him steal a nut out of one lady's purse! Happy new year ya'll! Missy

They can include tee shirts from elementary school, sports teams, cheerleading, clubs, favorite bands, concerts, movies, vacations, college, places of employment. You can use items beyond tee shirts. Consider including sweatshirts, baby blankets, jackets, jerseys, letters earned for school sports and more.

When comparing my designs to other quilts please note that all my tee shirts are all custom cut. The blocks are cut to include the entire graphic, making them different sizes, then custom fit together. My quilts are entirely quilted, stitched in the ditch and most designs are outlined. This effort makes the end result much more aesthetically pleasing. If these qualities are as important to you as they are to me, I'm your Quiltress!

What a wonderful and treasured gift this would be! This is a great T-Shirt quilt to treasure your memories. This one was done for a Christmas gift to commemorate shirts from a college fraternity. It measures approximately 65 x 84 inches. I can make the background material whatever colors you like. This quilt has 20 large t-shirt blocks with smaller shirt designs in the borders. All Quilts have a personalized label on the back. Send a conversation to start designing your quilt. Quilt materials are 100 percent cotton. The batting is Warm and Natural which is 100- Percent United States Grown Cotton and Punched With Hundreds Of Needles Through A Thin Base Material To Prevent Tearing Shifting Migrating. This Batting Will Not Separate Bunch Or Beard. Please allow 6 weeks for delivery after payment and pictures are received. To discuss your photo quilt, send me a conversation before you purchase. Machine or hand washing in cold water with very mild or NO detergent is recommended. Lay flat to dry. Information on quilt care will be included with your purchase. Since these quilts are custom made, they may not be exactly like the picture. If you want to change the design of the squares without pictures, just let me know. Since these are personalized with your pictures, the finished quilt is not returnable.
Please note that there is a PDF file to download if you purchase this deposit for the quilt. I made the quilt shown in the first photo as a graduation gift for my nephew from his mom and dad. The shirts represent many activities he was in while in high school. The other quilts shown are ones I made as memorial gifts, retirement gifts, birthday gifts and rewards. These quilts are a great way to remember someone or as a memory of high school days, college, jobs or whatever is depicted on all those t-shirts. I will make each quilt with sashing around the t-shirt squares with two alternating colors, as shown, that you choose. The shirts in your quilt will be 13.5 inches square finished, unless they are really small shirts, like for a child. Then I will add an extra sashing so all the squares end up the same size. I will use only top quality cotton fabric for the sashing and cotton batting. It will be quilted with an edge to edge stitch pattern on my long arm quilt machine. I will consult with you on what color backing you would like that coordinates with the front. The backing will be 100% cotton or cotton flannel and will be pre-washed so it won't shrink when the quilt is done. Also note, that because flannel is heavier, the cost will be $5.00 more if I use flannel, to pay for the extra shipping cost. The listing cost ($100) is a deposit for the quilt that I will make from your shirts. The total cost is based on the number of shirts you have and the size of the quilt. You will pay the balance (quilt price minus the deposit) upon completion of the quilt. The prices below include shipping after your quilt is completed. Turn around time = 3 weeks or less after I receive your shirts.
