Trout Lake Camps Quilters' Retreat Projects
March 16-18
T-shirt Quilt






Another easy way to repurpose your old t-shirts! A t-shirt quilt makes a great memory quilt, use
it as a way to remember a loved one or use it to showcase a part of your or someone else’s
life… think graduation gift, etc. I will show you an example or two and give hints and tips on
making your own, pattern available even if you don’t bring t-shirts with you.

Materials Needed:
Sewing T-shirts (lots… at least 12)
8-12 yards of fusible light to medium weight interfacing
2-4 yards of a coordinating fabric for opt. sashing and/or border and binding.
(You will eventually need batting and backing fabric)

T-shirt Scarf (Bonus Project)






Scarves are an easy, no-fuss accessory, and they keep you warm too! Clean out your closet or
visit a local thrift store to gather old t-shirts and join the fun. This is a quick project that yields a
very soft, comfortable scarf. When choosing your t-shirts: size/ small stains/ and small tears won’
t matter. You will be cutting the t-shirts apart. Select based on colors and t-shirt designs that
appeal to you. They make great gifts too!
Materials Needed:
5-6 coordinating t-shirts
Coordinating thread

project to use some of those novelty fat quarters up!

Coordinating thread
