  2. donation

Bronwyn, thanks for the fabulous links to the T-shirt panties and quilts! The T-shirt quilts I've seen before were uninspiring and saggy, to say the least, but the ones with sashing are great. DD has loads of cherished T-shirts that she no longer wears - I'm going to start squirrelling them away so she can have a quilt when she leaves home.

Bronwyn, thanks! I think, the best solution is to make panties, both for me and my hubby. I've tried it before, but they 've got too BLOITED or hoity-toity(is this english? i have to look in my vocabulary) It is sure, the quality has to be just stretch in both directions.. not every T-shirt has this. Anyway, maybe the front has to be made by elastic(lycra) lace :-) only for me, not for DH of course. I will make pics, sure. Suzan

Have you considered asking your husband if he would like some lace man panties? Now that would be...........cute????

(Sorry I just couldn't resist LOL)
