Project Repat Custom T-Shirt Blankets – Made in the USA | #ProjectRepat
You know you’ve thought about it. “I’m going to take all of my kids’ t-shirts and make them a t-shirt blanket with them!” The next thing you know, you’ve collected and collected t-shirts, and you put them away only to lose them in the back of the storage closet, to wait til you have the time to spare to make it, or completely forget about them altogether! Now, you can send them to a great company right here in the USA to have a custom keepsake blanket made for an extremely affordable price with Project Repat!
What if I told you that the average American throws away (as in… landfills…) 65 pounds of clothing per year? Would you believe me? Why not have someone turn some of that into a t-shirt blanket full of memories? What if I also told you that just about a case (23) of empty plastic bottles can be recycled into about a yard of PolarTec fleece to back your t-shirt blanket!?
Project Repat Custom T-shirt Blankets are a genius way to keep some of your clothing out of landfills (which makes up 5% of trash on Earth!) while also keeping hundreds of thousands of plastic bottles out of the landfills by simply recycling already used t-shirts and bottles! Not only that, but by sending your t-shirts to Project Repat, you’re helping to “repatriate” textile textile jobs back to the USA. All of this awesomeness at a pretty amazing “best on the planet” price!

The Teen was SO excited when she found out she was going to be putting together a t-shirt blanket! She gathered up a lot of her favorites and started going through them to put together the perfect blanket. We prepared the shirts according to the directions we received in the email they sent us, and we had a great time going through talking about each occasion for each shirt! As you can tell, she’s very involved in choir and church activities, and this is just up until her junior year! We are so excited to put together a blanket for her senior year!
How does Project Repat work?
Your blanket was carefully crafted by designers, cutters, and sewers earning a fair and living wage in the United States.
First, you decide how big you’d like your panels.
- 12×12 (standard size)
- 8×8 (baby clothes)
- 14×14 (men’s XL and larger panels)
Next, you decide what size t-shirt blanket you’d like.
- Lap (16 panels)
- Twin (24 panels)
- Full (30 panels)
- Queen (49 panels)
- King (64 panels)
Then, you decide what color PolarTec Fleece you’d like for the backing! (Or, you can choose the option to have shirt panels on both sides!)
After you’ve paid for your t-shirt blanket, Project Repat will send you instructions on how to prepare your shirts and then ship them to the facility closest to you! You’ll pay shipping to them, but they will ship your finished blanket to you for FREE! It’s a lot of fun to go through and prepare the perfect shirts for the perfect blanket!
If you’re not yet convinced to get the ball rolling on this amazing keepsake, take a look at this short video. We’ve already received our t-shirt blanket for The Teen, and this video made me tear up in expectation of her Senior year next year and putting together the rest of her favorite shirts!!
The turnaround time for a Project Repat T-shirt Blanket is only about 3-4 weeks (WOW!!) from when they receive your shirts at their facility. The good news is that you can request a specific date you need it by within the 4 week window for only a $20 rush shipping fee at check out!
