How many shirts are needed?

How big do the shirts need to be?

Minimum size: Shirts or clothing items must be 13” wide x 13” long. For smaller items, please email us and we can work with you to create a custom square in the blanket.

Maximum size: There is no maximum size, but logos or graphics larger than 12” long or 12” wide may be cut off in order to be included in the blanket. Please email us with any questions or concerns.

What types of fabric can be included in the blanket?

At Pink Dahlia, we strive to make your blanket personal and perfect. We have successfully incorporated items made from cotton, sweatshirt material, jerseys, denim, felt and flannel. We’ve even been able to use wrestling singlets and swimsuits.

Some items that we are unable to incorporate into blankets include: sequined items (such as dance costume), leotards and zippers.

If you are unsure, please email us and we will help you determine what will look best for your final product.

Will you return shirt scraps with the finished blanket?

Typically, no. But if you have a special item that you’d like us to return to you, please email us at the time of your order and we’ll do our best to get the remaining fabric back to you.

*The table above includes the ideal number of items for each blanket size. However, at Pink Dahlia, we are happy to customize your blanket and can adjust our work to incorporate any number of shirts or clothing items. Visit our gallery to see some creative examples. If you’d like both the front and back of a shirt incorporated into the blanket, you can subtract a shirt from the total number needed. As always, email us with questions so that we can ensure you are completely delighted with the final product.
