Memory quilts are a great way to repurpose old shirts that you no longer wear, but don't want to discard as they hold too many memories. They are cut into squares and sewn together to create a blanket to cherish for years to come. They make ideal unique gifts and are a great way to celebrate life's accomplishments and moments.

We have many different sizes to choose from depending on how many T-Shirt sides you would like to include. This will then determine the price of your new quilt. Check out our size guide and 'shop' for more information

Our t-shirt quilts are unlike the traditional three layered quilts where the shirts are interfaced, have a batting centre and then typically a cotton back and bound around the edges - The whole quilt top is then stitched all together normally in some kind of pattern. Although these kinds of quilts are beautiful- they are also pretty fancy and expensive. Our quilts are created using just your T-Shirts which are joined using a serger, and then backed with a super soft fleece, turned right way out and then topstitched around the edge. By doing it this way, not only do we create a REALLY soft flexible durable quilt, it also takes nothing away from the actual designs on the T-Shirts themselves. There is no risk of the interfacing failing and they are quicker to create- therefore we are then able to pass those savings on to you! The quality of our quilts match that of the traditional ones but at a third of the price.

Each T-Shirt side received is pressed - We then cut each 12.5" square individually so that they are very accurate (slightly larger for seam allowances when sewing) This is then arranged in a order that makes the most of the colours provided and what looks best. We use an industrial 4 thread serger to join the edges of each shirt side. Once the top has been sewn, the quilt is placed on top of your chosen fleece colour and pinned to ensure that it is laying nice and flat- please note that if you have ordered either large, x large or xx large- there will be a join in the fleece backing as they are too wide for the standard fleece fabric width. The edges are then serged leaving a gap to turn the quilt inside out. Finally, the quilt is ironed so that it lays nice and flat and once right side out and the edge is top stitched ensuring that the gap is closed and that it is left looking nice and complete.

At RE-Vive the TEE we can use many different material types in you quilt, not just T-Shirts. The materials you can use in your quilts are: T-Shirts, Fleece, Flannel, Polos, Sweatshirts, Scrubs, denim. If you have any material you are not sure if it can be included, then please send us an email at info@revivethetee.ca.

We care about your prized possessions just as much as you do. When your parcel arrives at the studio, a confirmation email will be sent to you letting you know its here.

Our current time to create your quilt (not including delivery) is 3-4 weeks, however this can change depending on number of orders we currently have on our waitlist- we will keep you informed if your order is going take longer.

All quilts are sent from the studio expedited via Canada Post . We will let you know when you order has been sent and a tracking number will be provided.

When you receive your quilt and unpack it, you will see that we have included Care Cards on how to wash the quilt. We ask that the quilts are washed on a cold 30 degree delicate cycle and hung to dry (do not dry in the tumble dryer). Your quilt will be packaged in acid free tissue paper which is safe for storage and will not damage the fabrics over time.
