My favorite double duty craft is the t-shirt quilt. I readily admit that I love t-shirts, and I buy a lot of them at any given time, which means that I grow out of them pretty quickly. I started saving shirts that I wasn’t going to wear anymore, and instead of chucking them out the door I collected them by theme and color. After a few months of this, I had enough to make a quilt! It’s super easy, and you don’t have to be a sewing master to make one. Here’s a few quick and easy tips, and you can be making your own t-shirt quilt. Now you have a finished quilt! There are lots of little embellishments you can make on your quilt once you’re done, which make it even more personalized. Not only do you have a great, comfy quilt where before you had a pile of shirts, but you saved those shirts from being thrown into the garbage. [Image credit: LadyKat at Flickr]
