No Sew T-Shirt Blanket Tutorial
(Scroll over top right of Image to Pin to Pinterest)
This No Sew T-Shirt Quilt is a GREAT way to re-purpose old t-shirts that you don’t wear anymore but you still like.Many of us have too many T-Shirts and they are found overflowing in a drawer. These are great to pull together as a theme (for examples baseball shirts over a few seasons or civic club shirts from Freshman to Senior Year) By turning them into a memory blanket it’s a great way to hold on to those momentous that you just won’t put to use anymore! This particular blanket was made using old baseball t-shirts. If you also are a horrible sewer, this project is perfect for you as it requires no needed and thread and is VERY easy to do!
Money Spent: roughly $4
Time Spent: a few hours
Materials needed:
- T-Shirts. In this example, I used 6 t-shirts (this made 12 squares using the front and the back of the shirt)*
- Scissors
- Fleece to fit the square foot of your shirts laid into a square pattern.

- Clean and Wash your t-shirts.
- Measure your shirts into a square. You can decide on the width and height but make sure all squares are big enough to fit the largest logo and are all the same size.
- Once cut, lay all out your shirts and measure the size so that you know how much fleece or fabric you need for the back and cut that to size.
- Cut the ends of your t-shirts into 1 inch slits around the perimeter.
- Double not your t-shirts together into your square pattern. DO NOT DO the outer perimeter of your 12 shirts (you will tie this to the fleece backing at the end.)
- Once all the inner edges of the t-shirts are tied, take your backing to the t-shirt square. Double knot all outter edgest of t-shirt square and fleece square together.
- Voila! There you have it, a easy but time consuming no sew blanket! Keep it for yourself, or give it as a gift! I hope you enjoy this!
*You can use as many or as few t-Shirts as you would like! I found that only having 12 squares does NOT make a very big blanket.
