that is so beyond cool, now I know what to do with my favorite dead tee that fell apart in the washer!
I am currently saving my old lot shirts and concert tee's for just such a project. I almost have enough of my hubby's to make a quilt for him. I even have a small stash of kids tie dyes and lot shirts of my sons
what an awesome idea! check out www.twilightdance.com...under the quilt category, brianne has an *incredible* quilt she made out of tees from Dead tour!!!
6 hours,, an all she did was take the top out of a quilt and make a dress out of it?? O Keydokey,,if thats impressive to yall ,,so be it.. speaking of quilts,, yall ladies should start a hip forums quilting guild.. you could do it via ups or somethin.. i have seen the talent here as well as the freindship.. yall should organize an make a fine ass hippie quilt.. not be impressed by someone that took the top off one an cut an sowed a dress pattern in 6 hours...
I think she made the quilt to begin with, but ya know what hippiehillbilly, that's not a bad idea at all (for the hipforums quilt)
yes she did make the quilt,, but i was refering to her time whippin out the dress.. scuse me i just fell off a cliff after 4 hours of drummin,, dont worry it was only 12 feet,, hehehhe ouch,, yall do it right as i know ya can.. the hipforums quilting guild that is.. ooowww.. yall sew ill cut wood..
I think that it was more the idea of taking old t-shirts and making something out of them, not that it took her 6 hours or anything. And in her defence, I think that she said in there that she'd never really made anything before....so that;s actually really good.
Ooo, so so cool! I like the quilt and the dress idea I'm going to start collecting cool shirts from the thrift store!
Such a sweet idea - but I'm not a sewer . I'd have to hire one of you sewing mommas to stitch it together for me.
