Here is what started my crafting adventures.... I had several sorority t-shirts after leaving college. I mean, a LOT. And it felt sort of silly trying to be a "grown up" and still identifying myself by my sorority. So, I asked for a sewing machine for Christmas, and this is the first product that came from it.
It used just about every Alpha Sig shirt I had... starting from my own bid night shirt seen here
<-------------
Up till the one from bid night my senior year: --->
And here is the final product:
It is very warm, too. :)
The hardest parts:
- I didn't know what I was doing and none of the shirts were cut to the exact same size
- My sewing machine kept eating the t-shirt material
- I decided to hand-quilt the thing.... which explains why that still isn't done
- I sewed the edges shut before quilting it. According to Granny, that just ain't how it's done.
But I still love it. It makes me smile every time I see it and I get to remember what was going on in my life when I was getting all of those stinkin' t-shirts. I guess this counts as filling my days with satisfying activity, eh, Alpha Sigs? I miss you girls!
