    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 :)

    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 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.

    Such a sweet idea - but I'm not a sewer [​IMG]. I'd have to hire one of you sewing mommas to stitch it together for me.
