5 out of 5 starsMy pillow came out so beautiful! I chose to send Jane my senior prom dress from 1992. She was super communicative and offered up a few different design ideas with the fabric from the dress. The end result is so amazing. It’s more beautiful than I ever could have imagined and I will cherish it forever. I didn’t want people to necessarily know that it was from my dress- just a decorative pillow that I would love and I definitely do. Thank you so much, Jane!

5 out of 5 starsThe memory pillow came out better than I even imagined! The attention to detail is amazing (i.e. you can unzip the cover and wash it if you ever need to)! I am a repeat customer for a reason! Thank you so much!

5 out of 5 starsJane did a magnificent job on the pillows that we had made with a lost loved one's scarves! She keeps you very informed every step of the way to insure that she is making things exactly to your specifications! She is a wonderful seamstress. Highly recommend!

5 out of 5 starsJane is THE BEST!!! I feel like she was meant to be part of my story, and I will be forever grateful to her! She truly made Christmas special for my boyfriend and me.
Hallmark-movie-like story ahead!!! :)
After knowing each other for 10 years, my boyfriend moved back to Italy in September to take care of his mother. I wanted to have the sweater we hugged goodbye in made into a pillow for Christmas.
Jane is truly a master, and my boyfriend cried when he saw the pillow. He hasn’t stopped hugging it and telling me how much he likes it. (He’s amazed at the invisible zipper too!) And his mother who has Alzheimer’s, enjoys touching it.
Your most precious gifts are most certainly safe with Jane. I can’t say enough good things about her!!!

Practical items, pretty fabrics - a perfect combination.

From baby clothes, to T Shirts, to jackets and baseball pants, I work with many fabrics!
Sew Practical, Sew Pretty
Grab a cup of coffee and let's talk! As a custom sewing studio, I work directly with you, the customer, to create what you envision. I am willing to work with you via email or phone. Sometimes, by the end of a project, my customers feel like old friends!
I am a practical person who values quality. My products are inspired by my needs or my customers' needs.
I designed an oversized beach tote because hauling a lot of stuff to the beach was difficult with four kids in tow. My bags can hold 10 towels!
I love to find new uses for old materials. A sweatshirt becomes a tote, a coffee sack becomes an apron and T shirts become T Shirt Memory Quilts!
Every quilt tells a story. It might be the story of a high school teen about to embark on college. It might be the story of a beloved father who passed away. Maybe it is the story about all the 5Ks you have completed. Whatever the story is, I strive to preserve it in a tangible way. I also preserve it in a practical way: my quilt blankets are meant to be used, washed, hugged, and loved!
I look forward to working with you!

Frequently asked questions
What is your turnaround time?
The turnaround time depends on the number of items in my custom sewing queue. It is best to plan as far as possible in advance, especially if you are considering giving one as a gift in December(holidays) or May (graduations). You can request a rush order. If I can accommodate you, there will be a $25 additional charge. Currently, quilt blankets require 6-7 months. Pillows, 2-4 weeks.
Care instructions
The blankets are machine washable. Machine was cool and tumble dry low. If you would like to press the top of the quilt, press gently using a press cloth or handkerchief so that you do not melt the T Shirt motifs.
Are these blankets traditional quilts with batting?
No. A traditional quilt is made of three layers: the top, a middle layer of batting and a cotton bottom. The batting can shift and bunch so the quilt has to be stitched or “quilted” through the three layers. Maiden Jane blankets have two layers: the top and a cozy fleece bottom. There is no need for batting. The blankets are top-stitched and tacked down to keep the layers stable. The fleece provides a cozy and comfortable backing that is not as stiff as a traditional quilt. I can make a traditional quilt but the cost and time involved increases significantly.
Are these blankets as durable as traditional quilts?
I have made these quilts for over ten years. My customers testify that they are quite durable. My own children have used their blankets at college as throws and picnic blankets. They wash up very nicely. Will they be heirlooms in 100 years? I don’t know! But they are surely a “practical and pretty” way to get T Shirts out of your closet and drawers!
Do you use interfacing?
I use interfacing on shirts that are extremely worn or have holes in them. I also use them in the blankets that are sewn to cotton fabrics. This is mainly for ease of construction.
Can I use the front and back of a shirt?
Yes!
Can I combine two shirts into one block?
Yes! If the sizing is right, I can often take two shirts and combine them into one block.
Can I use sweatshirts or sports jerseys?
Yes.
What other things can I use?
Varsity jacket, sheets, blankets, shorts, button-down shirts, jeans, jerseys, uniforms, varsity letters, vintage quilts.
Can I select the fabrics?
You can leave fabric selection up to me or we can work together to make the selections. Sometimes customers will specify a color they would like or think would work well. Many times they leave the choices to me. You can always look through examples of my other blankets to get ideas.
