T shirt Quilts

Author: Stacey Potts

Planning Unit: Daviess County CES

Major Program: Family and Consumer Sciences 4-H Core Curriculum

Plan of Work: Building Life Skills in Youth

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

The primary goal of the Kentucky 4-H Sewing program is to teach youth about the art and skills of creating useful items using needle and thread.  This includes not only the use of a hand needle and thread, but also the sewing machine and serger.  Sewing can be used to create clothing and wardrobe essentials, as well as useful items for daily living.

Five Daviess County 4-H’ers worked with a volunteer leader for 12 hours over four nights and an undetermined amount of additional hours at home to create t-shirt quilts.  T-shirt quilts are generally created from special t-shirts that a person doesn’t want to part with.  Creating a t-shirt quilt can be challenging and time-consuming because there is no set pattern.  The result, however, is a useful, unique, and often cherished item.  No two are alike because of the creativity and personal preferences of the quilt maker.  All five 4-H’ers ended up with a one of a kind special quilt they made themselves.
