The “helpful” studio assistant who proudly fetch the thread… and tangle it into a full-blown craft explosion. Their faces say, “I followed directions! Aren’t you proud?” Perfect for pet-loving quilters who know that every spool might become a toy. Adorable chaos + loyal enthusiasm = must-have studio style.


Meet the shirt that quilters (and everyone else) reach for first. Comfort Colors® tees are made from 100% premium, ringspun cotton that’s been garment-dyed for that beloved lived-in softness: the kind that usually takes years of washing to achieve. The fabric is substantially thicker than standard tees (no cling, no see-through, no “is this a paper towel?” feeling), yet it stays breathable, cozy, and perfectly relaxed.

With rich, pigment-dyed colors that get even softer, and better ~ over time, every shirt feels like an instant old favorite. The fit is comfortable and flattering without being boxy, making it the ideal tee for retreat days, lazy Sundays, road trips to fabric shops, and everyday wear.

This isn’t just a t-shirt. It’s your new go-to: the one you’ll wash immediately just so you can wear it again.

🧵 Sewing Room Sizing Notes:

  • Our measurements are taken with the tee laid flat — smooth, simple, and no stretching involved.
  • We recommend comparing these measurements to a favorite tee you already love at home.
  • This tee features a unisex cut with a classic crew neck and a relaxed, boxy silhouette.
  • Customers report this tee runs a bit small. We suggest sizing up once for a comfortable, relaxed fit — or sizing up twice if you love that cozy, oversized quilting-day look.
  • Questions? Need a second opinion? We’re always happy to help — just reach out anytime.

Comfort Colors™ 1717 Tee

This is that tee — the one you reach for again and again because it’s soft, breathable, and already feels like an old favorite. With a vintage-inspired look and a relaxed, boxy vibe, it’s made for sewing days, errand runs, and casual “just popping into the quilt shop” moments.

Most quilters prefer to size up for that effortlessly relaxed feel — perfect for layering, lounging, or dramatic fabric shopping sprees.

Fit Notes (aka the good-to-know stuff):

  • Unisex cut with a classic crew neck
  • Runs a bit on the smaller side
  • Size up once for a comfy, relaxed fit
  • Size up twice if you love that cozy, oversized look
Fabric We Love
  • Heavyweight 6.1 oz./yd² for that quality, not-too-thin feel
  • 100% ringspun cotton, grown in the USA
  • Soft-washed and garment-dyed for lived-in comfort
  • Pre-washed for minimal shrinkage
  • Durable, breathable, and broken-in from day one

In short: it’s comfy, flattering, and built to keep up with your quilting life — from cutting table to coffee break and everywhere in between. 🧵✨

We adore our Chic Quilter apparel, but sad would be the day that they fade (much like a well-loved quilt!).  Luckily, you can zig-zag this sad fate with some care and these easy steps:

1.  Secret Reveal Wash:  Wash and dry your T-shirts, Hoodies, and any other apparel inside out.  Easy, but crucial.

2.  Cool and Gentle Cycle:  Bathe your apparel in cool water with a splash of gentle detergent.  Your apparel isn't a quilt-in-the-works, so no high heat!

3.  Low Spin, Luxe Care:  Resist the spin temptation - extra spins do more harm than good.   Need to get the spin out of you?  Go rip out a seam - both can make you dizzy!

4.  Air Dry Retreat:   If tumble drying on that extra low-heat setting, just know that your apparel does not like company - no towels or heavy jeans.

5.  Low Heat Iron:  Iron inside out, only if necessary.   We recommend that you also have a lightly damp cloth between the apparel and the iron.  Irons are not a t-shirt's best friend.

Follow these steps, and your apparel will stay vibrant longer than the stitches of life!

Chic Quilter 'Chaos Finch' tee on a model - Comfort Colors 1717 with feature callouts

Comfort Colors® 1717 ~ Mid-Heavyweight Classic Tee

The 1717 is the tee people mean when they say they only wear Comfort Colors now. Ring-spun cotton at a substantial 6.1 oz, garment-dyed so the color lives in the fabric itself ~ every shade looks like it spent a good summer somewhere. The relaxed fit hangs easy over real bodies doing real things: pressing yardage, hauling the machine into the truck, standing at a show quilt slightly too long (worth it). It softens with every wash and never goes flimsy, which is exactly the aging curve we ask of fabric and rarely get from a shirt. Cold wash, inside out, low tumble. Fair warning from long experience: nobody owns one 1717. The first purchase is a gateway. Budget accordingly.
