All the men in my family know to give me their unwanted shirts and ties- no thrift shops for them! My nephew is moving and doing the purge, bless his heart. Today he brought me 29 silk ties and 16 cotton shirts. Yea- more for my stash. I am collecting ties for a quilt, am up to about 150, another 70 or so to go! When I think of all the XL men's shirts I have given away when I could have used the fabric. Now I know better.

I want to do the apron out of a man's shirt that someone posted a link to. I also have a bin of ties for a future project. The bin has been sitting in my sewing room for about 3 years so far and I hope to get a Bow Tie quilt done before the 5 year mark.

I'm thinking for some fun ... for the apron/shirt to use a tie for the "ties" instead of the shirt fabric. And/Or to make a bow tie, to attached to the neck of the shirt/apron!

I am the only female in my department at work and all the guys know that when they're talking to me and I get a certain glazed look that I'm fantasizing about stealing their tie and/or shirt for a quilt.
It's become sort of a 'pet' joke... "You're thinking of ripping my clothes off again, aren't you?" "Why yes! Yes, I am!" LOL
