I only used the front panel on the shirts so now I will have to come up with more ideas to use up the rest. It was cheaper at most places than buying yardage. The XL shirts have lots of fabric!! I may have to start looking at other used clothing in the future! Oh and it's super soft due to the fact the shirts have been washed so many times!
Love your use of the striped shirts. I have avoided using them much because of the stripes. You did a wonderful job. I'll be checking my shirt stash for more and now am inspired again.
