About the Design

Fabric, check. Thread, check. Rotary cutter you definitely already own three of, check. The Packed the Important Things T-shirt is for every quilter who has packed for a retreat, a sewing day, or a weekend away and prioritised their stash before their toiletries. Because let's be honest, the sewing kit was never staying home.

Made from soft 100% cotton in a range of easy everyday colours, it's the tee to wear on the drive there, at the machine, and everywhere in between. A fun, relatable pick for quilters, retreat-goers, and anyone who packs fabric before pyjamas.

Everything at Patched to Pieces is created with quilters in mind, from the humour and references to the colours, details and little things only another quilter would understand.
