How to give your old shirts an afterlife

Time to learn to quilt:

A San Francisco artist who goes by the name Ben Venom has come up with an unusual use for those old heavy metal shirts — he sews them into quilts.

And the results are on exhibit in galleries in the Bay Area and Birmingham, England.

Venom says his concert T’s were logical materials because “they’ve been lying around my closet for years. Like my Testament shirt was completely threadbare; you could see my nipples through it,” he says, “It’s not very heavy metal to wear that out in public.” – NPR

It’s a good idea. When a tshirt is too worn thin to wear, make it into a quilt and gift a family member with it. Guilt works.
