Tidying Up – With Something To Show For It

We’ve all seen the Marie Kondo show: we know how good it feels to declutter. But sometimes there’s an emptiness on the other side, without the warmth of familiar objects around. Project Repat’s T-shirt quilts keep precious memories close at hand, turning nostalgic tees into a blanket that can travel wherever you go. Whether it’s your spouse, child or BFF whose dresser drawers are bursting open, give them the gift of breathing room with the best of all bonuses to boot.

Eight’s the Magic Number

If you think you’ll need stockpiles of shirts to get started, think again. Project Repat’s lap-sized blanket requires only eight tees, which get stitched together side by side for a collage that couldn’t be cozier. The sizes go up from there – with twin, full, large throw, and queen-sized options – meaning they can handle as many of your loved ones’ T-shirts as you throw at them. And to get double the memories packed onto one quilt, they’ll even let you go double-sided.

Easy, Tee-sy

Project Repat quilts are intimate, handmade gifts– but “custom” doesn’t need to translate to “complicated.” The hardest thing you have to do is cut those T-shirts into panels. Once you’ve chosen your quilt size and fleece backing color, you’ll use this guide to cut out “T-shirt sides”, which then are whisked off by scheduled USPS pickup (pre-paid shipping label included.) Gifting a one-of-a-kind keepsake that was easy lifting on your end? We can’t think of a better win-win guarantee.

Sustainably in Style

Old tees stuffing up your closet is one thing, but the vast majority of them end up cluttering up our landfills. With 5% of trash on Earth made up of used textiles, throwing away old clothes has real environmental impact – to say nothing of the 700 gallons of water it takes to make one new shirt. Even if your loved one isn’t a sustainability nerd (like us), they’ll appreciate their precious tees going to good use. Be a part of the positive trend towards upcycling, while giving those tees a reinvention that brings them proudly out of storage.
