piles of old tee-shirts

The other night I was talking to my dad about all those old shirts that pile up in my closet from races, etc...that I can't throw away but never use. In the back of my head I was thinking, one day, this will make a great quilt, but obviously that's not going to happen anytime soon, but the other day I found another "someday" kind of thing to do with old shirts that actually seems more feasible that the huge tee-shirt quilt idea. I happened across this site, it basically shows you how to take your old tee-shirts and turn them into a bag, I was thinking of all the great striped and patterned shirts I've thrown away over the years with regret. If I make one, i'll be sure to post the pictures!

Ohhhh Kelly, I love it. We should make matching ones out of our "Ran Like a Girl" shirts!
