My Daughter’s T-Shirt Quilt: A Life Journey Stitched in Fabric

t-shirt quilt

It’s been a few years since my daughter graduated from college. Like many students, she collected dozens of t-shirts: from campus clubs, fundraisers, sorority events, memorable trips, concerts, and shirts that described who she is. Each one held a memory, but they were all gathering dust in a closet. They had some wear and tear but she couldn’t bear to part with them—too many memories.

That’s when I discovered Project Repat. They take well-loved t-shirts and transform them into a custom t-shirt quilt—practical, personal, and absolutely full of heart.

We’ve been talking about it for years–doing something with my daughter’s old t-shirts. Too many memories to just toss them and storing them was becoming an issue. We wanted to use them and make a blanket, but we didn’t have the sewing skills to accomplish it. We researched options but they all seemed so expensive. Until we found Project Repat.

This Christmas I was able to give my daughter a gift of memories. When she opened the box, her face lit up. There on a quilt were her favorite t-shirts from high school and college days. A shirt we purchased on a family vacation. A memory of her 18th birthday trip to Six Flags. One she purchased during her study abroad in London and Paris. Another her brother purchased for her while he was in the Marines. Her sorority and college shirts reminding her of some of the best memories of her life.

When your college-bound teen signs that letter of acceptance from his or her dream college, she will be leaving home in the fall. Homesickness almost always sets in. It would be great for your teen to have a little bit of home with her every day. She can choose the shirts that hold her favorite memories from childhood and high school to take with her to college. The t-shirt quilt will remind her of happier times and comfort her during those moments when she misses home.
