So my daughter Kayla has been taking a grad school class…and playing with fabric. Â Lucky for us, it’s actually a great combination.
Kayla is a Family Consumer Sciences teacher Marion, Iowa. Â She’s a great teacher and is always looking for ways to integrate technology into the classroom. Â Kayla is a bit techie herself and knows that students especially love technology…so it’s a win-win. Â She uses it and the kids love it.
On her quest for college she took a grad class that taught her how to “make movies”. Â She learned about voice overs, adding music and all the other things you need to know to make a video. Â At the same time, at her house, Kayla was playing with shirts making these mitered corner blocks.
Aren’t they cute blocks? Â She made them all from cotton shirts.
As she was taking the class and making the blocks at the same time she decided to practice what she was learning in class and make a video of how to make the blocks. Â Feel free to give it a viewing.
I think she did an excellent job on both the blocks and the video.
I happened to have moved a BIG pile of cotton shirts…once I’m settled I just might have to give these a try.
Great video!
Excellent video tutorial! Think I need to get to the local Goodwill and start looking for stripes!
Well done! I like that free spirit method!
Excellent video! I love the modern look and casual feel of the process! She should get an A!
Well done is right! I like the idea of ripping. Will try this this weekend. Thanks
Fabulous
Nice job!
Great video! You can tell she’s a good teacher. Now I have another quilt on my bucket list. . .
Nice job on the video! Thanks for sharing it. I’m looking forward to even more videos from Kayla.
Great video! Will give this a try.
Jo, Kayla is a very talented young lady! …like her mama!
Really enjoyed the video. Great job would be interested in how she makes it into a complete quilt
Nicely done!
Loved it……I will try it…..
You get an A++ from me!! Thanks for reminding me that I have an unfinished UFO in one of my many totes! Love this block!!
Awesome…anxious to try this. Will you be making it available as a tab to that we can easily refer back to it? Going look for more shirts no my trips to the thrift store :)
Wonderful! Kayla is so talented.
Great video. Kayla has a nice clear voice for videos.
Great Video! Thank you….very helpful.
Great tutorial – nice and easy to follow :)
Great video! I like the idea of repurposing the shirt material and making the blocks for a future project. Can’t wait to see how you work them into a quilt! Thanks!
Great video…..
I loved this video. Broken down into very easy steps and the stripes in the blocks make it look like it would be very complicated. Thank you
Kayla did an excellent job! Now I’m wanting to make a quilt from recycled shirts.
