Sleep Shirts Books

I was asked to put together a t-shirt quilt in less than a month for a raffle and I was quite daunted by this challenge. I got Lauren's book and I could not have been happier with the quilt! I was able to finish it in about 1 1/2 weeks. She stressed the importance of proper planning and takes you step by step and when it came time to put it together, it was a breeze! She had lots of tips to help working with the t-shirt material and now people are lining up for me to make more. Her book is a great addition to my quilting library!

Lauren's book is terrific for guiding you through making a T-shirt quilt. And what better way to preserve your memories (and your closet will have more room once you have added the "T"s to your quilt).
It's a fun process - and it's very, very doable! I highly recommend this book to anyone considering making this quilt!

I just finished making my first T-shirt quilt using this book and it turned out incredible! Although I have done a bit of sewing, I realized that I needed some guidance on this project because I had never made a quilt before and because I was using T-shirt jersey which can be tricky for sewing. Based on earlier reviews of this book, I bought it and it was perfect. The author, Lauren Kingsland, literally goes step-by-step through the process and her writing is so clear that I had absolutely no problem understanding what I needed to do. She gives a lot of helpful hints and the appendices are quite helpful too. While I really appreciated the complete and clear instructions, I equally appreciated the emphasis she put on the importance of careful planning and design. Because of this emphasis on design, I ended up with a quilt that was not only technically well-constructed, but was also a "piece of art". I am proud to be able to give this quilt as a gift to my teenager. If you want to make a T-shirt quilt, this is absolutely, positively, the book to have.

I decided to make T-shirt quilts for my daughters, nieces and nephews as HS graduation gifts. I'm so glad I bought this book before I started the first quilt. It was very helpful, especially with design elements and measurements.

I always buy a t-shirt when I travel -- why, I'm not sure. I wear them once or twice and they end up in a stack in the corner of my closet. Now I know why I have been saving them. Lauren's instructions area clear and clever. Her illustrations and examples are fool-proof. I've selected a great sashing fabric and am on my way to a "scrapbook I can sleep under!"
