Are you looking for a fun and creative way to upcycle your old t-shirts? Consider making a t-shirt rag quilt! This project is a great way to repurpose your favorite t-shirts into a cute and cozy blanket. It’s an easy project that even a beginner sewer can do.
To get started, you’ll need a few supplies. You’ll need t-shirts, a sewing machine, thread, fabric scissors, pins, a quilt batting, and a large piece of fabric for the backing. You can use any type of fabric for the backing, but a cotton or flannel fabric works best.
Once you’ve gathered your supplies, it’s time to start cutting up your t-shirts. Start by laying the t-shirts out on a flat surface and cutting off the sleeves and necklines. You can also cut off any additional fabric at the bottom of the shirt. Once you’ve cut off all of the extra fabric, you’ll be left with the main body of the shirt.
Next, you’ll want to cut your t-shirts into a variety of different shapes. You can use squares, rectangles, or triangles. You can also experiment with other shapes. Just make sure that each piece is roughly the same size.
Once all of your pieces are cut, it’s time to start sewing. Start by laying out the pieces in a pattern. You can either alternate the colors or create a design. Once you’ve laid out the pieces, sew the pieces together using a straight stitch.
After the pieces are sewn together, it’s time to add the batting. Cut the batting to the same size as your quilt top. The batting should be slightly larger than the quilt top. Place the batting on top of the quilt top and pin it in place.
Next, place the backing fabric on top of the batting and pin it in place. Sew around the edges of the quilt using a straight stitch. Make sure to leave a 4-5 inch opening so that you can turn the quilt right side out.
Once the quilt is sewn together, turn it right side out and stuff it with the batting. Use a pencil or chopstick to push the corners out. Sew the opening shut using a straight stitch.
Your t-shirt rag quilt is now ready to be quilted. You can use a walking foot or a free-motion foot to quilt the quilt. You can quilt in a variety of different patterns such as a straight line, a wavy line, or a grid.
Once the quilt is quilted, it’s time to bind the quilt. Use bias tape or fabric strips to bind the edges of the quilt. Sew the binding in place using a straight stitch.
Your t-shirt rag quilt is now ready to be used! This project is great for beginners, as it doesn’t require any special skills or tools. Plus, it’s a great way to upcycle your old t-shirts into something new and unique.
