PREPARATION
1. Sort through your shirts and choose what you want to use- the front only, back only or both. Each side is counted as a “square”. Choose what is the most important and memorable.
2. You can use painters tape or a safety pin with a sticky note to stick to the side/sides that you wish to have used. Do not put pins through vinyl or tape on top of any vinyl. Do not cut t-shirts.
CUSTOM T-SHIRT BLANKETS
BY LAUREL DANE DESIGNS, LLC
PRICES
1. Each shirt “square” is priced at $12. That price will include materials (fusible interfacing, fleece, threads) and my time.
2. $5 surcharge per square requiring adaptions. For example- If you want to add logos from a sleeve to the square, a shirt that is smaller than 12×12, V-neck jerseys that need extra fabric added
SIZES
-20 shirts is 4 shirts across and 5 down to make a rectangular twin size throw. 20 shirts would be $240. This is the most common size requested.
-25 tees running 5 across and 5 down makes a square size for $300.
-42 tees run 6 across and 7 down for a rectangular shape
-I’ve done up to 50 tees which can be 25 on each side or even 50 on the front for king size.
If you need specific measurements or would like a size not listed I can help you calculate.
PROCESS
1. I will cut tees into squares then I will send photos of the shirt arranged in a pattern for your approval.
I’ll message you through Facebook unless you prefer/provide a phone number to text. Nothing gets sewn until you approve the layout as this is your custom project.
2. I will sew together the front piece of the blanket using your shirts.
3. You will choose a polar fleece color for the back of the blanket.
4. I will sew the final product and get it back to you!
TIMEFRAME
Allow 2 weeks to one month to finish a quilt. I take in a limited amount of quilts at Christmas and graduation as these are my busiest times.
SHIPPING INFORMATION
Once complete I will ship the finished product back to you. The shipping fee has been around $20 depending on the size. I use priority mail with a tracking number and insurance. Once mailed I provide the tracking number and the final total of the blanket plus shipping. Checks or Venmo work for me.
