Day 3
Today my first job was to go through all of the t-shirts in our basement to find the ones I wanted to use. Despite all of the dust, it was actually a lot of fun. I loved seeing all of the different things my dad was involved in, and comparing them to the shirts that I have been collecting in my life. The coolest shirt I found was a shirt that had my dads entire soccer team photo on the front. I thought it was super funny and interesting because a shirt like that is unheard of today.
After I went through the shirts and decided on the 20 that I needed, I washed and all of them at once. Thankfully I was able to fit all of the laundry into one load.
Once they were all dried I folded them neatly, trying to avoid letting the shirts get as wrinkly as they were before.
I was really surprised at how much better the shirts looked after just one wash. I was also pleasantly surprised at how well the storage room smell came out of them.
Overall, today went very smoothly, and I feel a lot closer to finally being all prep-ed for this project. I wasn't expecting to have this much work before I even really started cutting and sewing and etc. Just simple things like I did today I totally forgot that I would have to do. But the little things I did today will help me accomplish my project and make the final product that much better.
I'm really excited for tomorrow and to start putting the quilt together!!
