Father's Day Inspiration

Father's Day is fast approaching.  A quick stroll thru blogland will reveal some wonderful ideas for that special guy in your life.  Here are just a few to check out to get those creative juices flowing.

Michell at Girl in Air will show you how to make this unique gift for dad.  He is the light of your life after all!

Christy at From Glitter to Gum Drops has another use for those fav T shirts.  Like this bag that could easily be geared to that special Dad.

She also featured another version of a T Shirt Quilt featuring soccer shirts like the one I posted here.  Seems great minds think alike!



The Blackbery Vine created this Golf Wreath for a Birthday but it would be great for that daddy who luvs golf for Father's day as well!

The possibilities on this one seem endless!  Make dad a wreath using other themes too, baseball, billiards, maybe even a football wreath!

Trendy Tree House has a collection of hand made Tshirts from over the years which are just as adorable as the children...and funny too!

Lil Luna is featuring some yummy treats this week using Oreo Cookies I'm sure Dad would luv to have.

Quilted Blanket

Big ones, little ones...

Black, white or brown ones...

Funny ones, serious ones, sporty ones...

They are all special!

What am I talking about...you ask?

What else, but Tshirts!

I've been working on a Tshirt quilted blanket and wanted to share the idea with you since Father's Day is right around the corner.

Take those Tshirts Dad has from the closets & drawers...

You know, the ones he's worn til they are soft and comfy.  The ones he treasures so much he can't part with...and make him a quilt!

It's really quite simple.

Cut each Tshirt down into squares of the same size.

Take care to cut out the photos or numbers from the fronts and backs.

Piece togeather each square and sew into strips of 4/5 depending how long or wide you want the blanket then sew each strip to the next strip.  Sandwich a blanket size of quilt batting between the two.

Viola!

A perfect one of a kind gift idea for that perfect one of a kind Dad this Father's Day!

Next I'll be sharing some other Tshirt ideas we've been working on using some more of those old shirts and even the scraps from this project!  I hope everyone is having a wonderful Memorial Day!  Just wanted to share a photo of our new addition to the family...
