Keep the Memories with a Repat Custom T-shirt Blankets
Sample received. All opinions remain my own.

Our family went through a recent decluttering spree where everyone was given the task of going through their room and keeping, tossing, selling or donating items they haven’t used in the past year… or just didn’t need or want anymore.

Both of my older children insisted on keeping their tubs of old t-shirts. Although they no longer wear them, they have special meaning to them and they couldn’t bear the thought of parting with them.

Kind of like the boy in this video:

That’s why when Project Repat offered a custom t-shirt blanket I knew this was our answer. The t-shirts wouldn’t be gone, they would actually be using them again and remembering every time they reached for their blanket.

My son is heading off to college, so we decided to put together a memory blanket of his high school years.

The t-shirts he chose all had significant meaning to him. From travel and high school soccer to social events and shirts from places he worked.

The process was much simpler than I thought it would be. You start by ordering the blanket which means picking the size and the color of the backing. Once your order is placed, you will receive an email with further instructions.

Once you’ve picked your shirts it’s time to sort/cut them. If your shirt has an image on both sides, you cut the shirt in half and send in only the side you want used. If the shirts are one sided, you send in the entire shirt.

We were assured that we could even send in polo style shirts. So he made his choices and we sent in 16 shirts to complete a toss blanket for his futon in college.

Sure enough the blanket fit together like a puzzle and my son loves it. Now his memories are on display instead of in the back of his closet or in a tub.

There’s a story behind each shirt… one he will probably tell his own children about some day. Thanks to Project Repat these memories will be brought up with this visual reminder for a long time to come.
