The other day I was cutting up old shirts to use in a quilt that I am making. As I was cutting away, taking off the sleeves, I noticed that none of Ben's old shirts had a seam down the side. WHAT! It totally surprised me. All my old shirts had seams down the sides. Makes sense to me. You take a front and back and sew them together. Hence the seam. But how in the world did they get the shirt shape with out the seam? It's like a tube. It was really crazy. I think I sat there for like 10 minutes looking at the shirt I had cut the sleeves off of. Trying to figure out how in the world it was made. Never figured it out. If any of you have any ideas I would loooove to hear them.
There's a bit of randomness from the life of Annie. Hope it made your day a little more interesting.
WHO KNEW! Not me!!

I think it is a weaving thing. I've noticed that most "T-shirts" don't have seams down the sides because they are not fitted like most women's shirts tend to be. I think they have a circular loom for T-shirts like craft people get for making hats, but because of the huge difference in thread density you don't see how the thread are weaved together to make the shirt. I remember thinking how weird it was the first time I noticed the lack of seams. Totally strange!
I wonder this same thing any time I wash Daniel's shirts.Charlynn you're so smart. Now i know :)
That is a great story. I love how you said you sat there for like an hour. Annie I miss you!!
