    Thanks for this video. Less costly with the absence of interfacing, easier and lighter too.

    Shelly - THANK YOU!! Your tutorial is amazing! I was going to pay to have a blanket made for my daughter of her college t-shirts as I am not an experienced seamstress. But in doing some research I came across your video and decided to try it myself. I have now made 3 blankets and they are perfect. Your attention to detail was so helpful and allowed the creation to flow smoothly. I appreciate you more than you know. I love these blankets! Thank you!

You make me feel confident that I can now do it. I can’t wait to get mine made, and have my closest back from their saved shirts!

    Shelly, thank you for you detailed video on sewing a T-shirt blanket. I had never quoted anything before, so I was looking for a very easy " beginner" quilt. I had saved t-shirts for about 25 years from my 3 kids. I finally decided to attempt the feat of making their blankets. It was so easy following your video. I easily made all three quilts and then made another one for my niece using some pictures for her memory quilt. Now I have had two friends want me to make one for them. I couldn't have done this without you help. Thank you so much.

    I've been putting off making my daughter a blanket for so many years because I'm afraid that I am going to ruin her beloved childhood shirts. However, after watching this I feel much more confident about jumping right in and doing it, so thank you very much for your easy to follow tutorial. I'm sure that I'm going to watch this a least 2 more times before I cut the material, and then maybe 3 more times before I begin sewing 🤣. You're a great teacher and I appreciate your patience for a visual learner like myself.

    Thank you so very much. I have seen for 46 years but never have seen on T-shirts. I have been asked to sew 3 t-shirt quilts using shirts from their father who has passed. When I tried my first stitch the stitch width was all over the place. I pulled up this video and one about how to use the serge stitch on t-shirts and they were a godsend. I didn’t even know their was special needles for knots. Now I’m all set and looking forward to making them.
