A project that was a long time coming...
The end result of an idea to gift my two older sisters with something from the intersection in the venn diagram of our shared youth. Design placement on some of the shirts made for not-the-best cut for a few in relation to the lap blanket template, but all in all, this came out pretty sweet.
Produced by Project Repat.
Bestttt blanketttttt! Project Repat gifted me this ridiculous memory warmer! GET IT! Please see out takes on the bottom, dog mom life.
After a week or two of tougher things from my past creeping into my heart, being wrapped up in a blanket made of shirts that represent my favorite groups and people reminds me who I am and how far I've come. Project Repat, thank you for this cozy way of feeling God's and my friends' love.
Upcycle Ethics: Project Repat vs. Indie Whip
The title of the article is quite a pun, but the Boston Herald’s Donna Goodison reported last week: Making T-shirts into quilts leads to suit.
A Boston company [Project Repat] that turns people’s T-shirts into quilts is suing its former video production firm [Indie Whip LLC] in U.S. District Court, claiming it used its trade secrets to start a rival T-shirt quilt maker.
If Project Repat’s claims are true - it’s lousy. And even if they’re not entirely accurate, it’s still pretty lousy.
We found a new way to get cozy with our soft shirts! Project Repat turned our tees into an amazing custom t-shirt quilt blanket!
Upcycling Old Clothing with @ProjectRepatUSA

What do you do with all of those old t-shirts that have sentimental value but that you haven't worn in years? Continue to horde them in your closet or bite the bullet and toss them out? Project Repat (@ProjectRepatUSA) seeks to solve this dilemma by "upcycling" your old, no-longer-worn tees into other usable items like blankets and tote bags.
"We want to make it easy for people to preserve the memories they have with their t-shirts," says Nathan Rothstein, one of Repat's founders. "People use Instagram to capture and preserve their memories, and we are in the memory preservation business as well."
Project Repat shares their story on Instagram, posting photos of finished items and giving their followers a look into the Massachusetts facilities that cut and sew the old t-shirts into their new forms.
"We use Instagram to share the finished product with our customers, but also bring them inside our production process. An integral part of our business is to be transparent with how we operate, and Instagram gives our customers an inside look into who makes their products."
My last post was about Project Repat, and hoarding tee shirts. I mailed my shirts to project repat and about 6 weeks later they sent me a blanket made out of my old shirts! I couldn't part with them forever, but it's nice to have some utility out of all of my shirts from sorority after all these years!
