Project Repat for the Win

Do you have a dresser drawer overflowing with event t-shirts?  Do you save your t-shirts because they have sentimental value?  Are you unsure what to do with your t-shirts besides stuff them in a box in your closet?  If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then not only was I in the same boat as you, but I have a solution! Turn your favorite t-shirts into a blanket with Project Repat!

With minimal prep on your part, you can go from an overflowing dresser drawer to a beautiful custom blanket!  Here’s how it works…

STEP ONE: Order your t-shirt quilt at ProjectRepat.com! Choose your panel size, quilt size, and fleece color.  My panel size is the standard size 12″ by 12″ and my quilt size is a twin, 24 panels.  Although there are 7 different fleece colors to chose from, I chose black since I thought it would best compliment my 24 race t-shirts.

STEP TWO: Project Repat will email you detailed instructions for preparing and shipping your shirts. The first step is to gather the t-shirts you’d like made into a blanket and decide if you want both sides of the shirt on your blanket, or just one side.  As for my shirts, I chose just one side to be displayed.  I, therefore, gathered 24 t-shirts and cut off the side that I wanted to send in to Project Repat.  I also made sure that the design would safely fit into each 12″ by 12″ panel.  (Do not cut the shirt into the 12″ by `12″ panels, Project Repat will do that for you.)
Separate the two sides.
Check the size of the design.

 

Once I had all 24 t-shirts cut, I laid out the t-shirts in the exact order I wanted them to appear on my blanket.  This is an optional step.  I wanted all of my t-shirts to appear in chronological order since they tell the story of how I went from an obese couch potato to a 10 time marathoner!  If you choose to specify the order of your t-shirts, be sure to print out a clear, color photo and send it in with your t-shirts.
