I have so many old clothes with me right now that I am not able to order the amazing <a href="https://www.carbon38.com/shop-all-activewear/sport-bras" rel="nofollow">Carbon38 sports bras</a> and t-shirts. I think I will get rid of the old ones like this and order the new ones.Groomyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04636811880940056663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561146385820548849.post-61216082365405978912017-07-19T06:39:16.530+10:002017-07-19T06:39:16.530+10:00That sounds beautiful Kelley - such a great way to...That sounds beautiful Kelley - such a great way to make use of old clothes!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377276479172112517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561146385820548849.post-15597070340296482362017-07-18T23:51:22.594+10:002017-07-18T23:51:22.594+10:00I worked in a senior assisted living home.

She took the shoulder part of her late husband's dress shirts and his ties and made it into a quilt. I thought it was a beautiful way to remember her husband.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01999238734254886785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561146385820548849.post-43800496494464026902016-08-01T08:22:02.322+10:002016-08-01T08:22:02.322+10:00Thanks so much Emmy!! :)Thanks so much Emmy!! :)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377276479172112517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561146385820548849.post-61293039841882250232016-08-01T08:18:18.277+10:002016-08-01T08:18:18.277+10:00Thanks so much Emmy!! :)Thanks so much Emmy!! :)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377276479172112517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561146385820548849.post-89287945940514298422016-08-01T07:45:34.009+10:002016-08-01T07:45:34.009+10:00Great idea, Jill, and well done on the video!!

When I attached the front and back I spent some time smoothing the layers out to get them nice and flat and used lots of pins to hold them in place. Then when I stitched them together using my machine, I just went slowly and let the machine pull the fabrics through with the feed dogs as I stitched. Without me pulling on the fabric at all, I had no problems with it slipping or puckering.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377276479172112517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561146385820548849.post-75873548061706268562016-07-28T01:45:32.672+10:002016-07-28T01:45:32.672+10:00Wouldn't you use some type of fixative to keep...Wouldn't you use some type of fixative to keep that shirt material from slipping around? I would think it would be hard to work with ...<br />The reason I ask is that I tried to put a fleece backing on a quilt top with nothing in between and it was absolute disaster for me. I couldn't control the fleece and I had puckers and gathers in all the wrong places.

My original plan was to wait until my girls were leaving school and make one then, but since I'm using my stash up now I thought I'd just jump right in and I"m glad I did!
