Over the years I've collected a ton of event t-shirts which some have been worn til stained and tattered and others have been hidden away in some dark forgotten place. After visiting Barber's Motorsports Museum I saw what I thought was a great idea for old t-shirts..........a quilt.

So my wife has been working hard digging out old shirts and deciding what to use and how to arrange them on my future quilt.



What do you do with your old event shirts?

 

I only have one so a quilt is out of the question

 

My wife makes pillows out of some but a quilt is a a great idea . I'll have to show her , thanks.

 

I have a t-shirt quilt of my old running shirts. My mom made it for me.
She also made one for a co-worker of mine for her son. They are great quilts.

 

I have seen where someone made a car cover out of the t-shirts.

I have seen the tshirt quilt before also. Nice idea.

 

I was thinking about putting the good ones in simple picture frames.

 

I cut the logo or graphic off the back and mount them on my shop walls. Sort like a history of hard work. Reminds me of a time in the project in the past.

 

I must be the odd ball, I actually wear them until they wear out.

 

I'm with you on that at, when I'm finished wearing them I get oil and polishing rags with what's left of them. lol

 

I wear mine too! However, I hate the thought of just throwing them away when they get old. Patina t shirts, anyone?

 

I wear them out too, but I can't part with them.

 

My shirts have been worn and some look better than others. The only requirement my wife has is no holes. I've got shirts that go back to the Grand Run I and I did have some from the unsanctioned Outlaw Rod Runs that used to occur on the last full weekend of September in Gatlinburg, Tn. These days I've gotten over having to buy every event t-shirt.

 

My wife made a quilt of all the Knoxville Nationals shirts I still have them running out my ears. I will try to post a pic of the quilt it is cool.
