Daphne Murphy plans to spend much of Super Bowl week cutting up New England Patriots souvenir blankets.

Not because she’s rooting for them to lose, but because she’s trying to help their fans cheer in style.

Working in her studio in Portland’s State Theatre building, Murphy will be tearing up the Pats blankets so she can reimagine their graphic elements and reassemble them as stylish outerwear. One of her blanket jackets will be worn by Boston singer songwriter Lisa Bello, who’ll be attending the Super Bowl in Santa Clara, California on Sunday. Bello had first become smitten with Murphy’s creations on Instagram and ordered a Red Sox version, which she wore while singing the national anthem at Fenway Park in Boston last April.

“Oh, my God, her craftsmanship is ridiculous. It’s, first of all, literally a blanket. So you think of the coziness of a blanket when you’re wearing it as a jacket,” said Bello, 43. ” And it’s just very different looking. The vision that she has for it is unreal, and I feel like she can’t really be duplicated.”

Murphy, 27, has been creating upcycled clothing from sports blankets, jerseys, sweatshirts, quilts, sparkly gowns, work pants and all kinds of used stuff for the past couple of years under the name Daphne Michelle Designs. On her Instagram and TikTok accounts, she often shows off the materials she found and how she recreated them. This year, with the Patriots back in the Super Bowl after several painful, miserable seasons for fans, her creations with the team’s name and logo have been especially popular in recent weeks.

Murphy said she’s made about 10 Pats blanket jackets and was hoping to make at least five more Super Bowl week. She’s had at least 30 people ask for the jackets in recent weeks. She asks them to be patient, and check Instagram to see when she might have a new one ready.

“People just didn’t find me until it was a little too late, and I’m not able to make all of them before the Super Bowl,” said Murphy, as she worked on putting the snaps on Bello’s jacket last week. “But I’ll be taking orders after the Super Bowl, for lifelong fans.”

Murhpy grew up in Orono in a house where making things was the expectation. Her mother’s a painter, her sister is a photographer and her father is very handy with tools. She was interested in thrifting and making clothes from an early age, and went to Lasell University in Newton, Massachusetts to study fashion design and production. For her senior collection she made a line of clothes from second-hand fabrics like table clothes, curtains and blankets.

Once she was in business for herself, she got a commission to make a jacket out of a family quilt. Then, while thrifting, she found a Fenway Park blanket at a second-hand store in New Hampshire. She made a jacket out of it, sold it pretty quickly, and has since made about 20 jackets out of Fenway Park blankets. She’s also made jackets from other Red Sox, Patriots, Bruins and Celtics blankets, as well as a few teams outside New England. She pays maybe $15 to $30 for the blankets, including ones found online, and now sells her jackets for about $300. She said if she worked without interruption, she’d finish one in about eight hours on her commercial grade sewing machine.

The blankets themselves can often be kitschy and gaudy, with huge letters and logos and numbers. Murphy starts by just looking at the blanket, laid out on a table in her studio, and trying to figure out what goes where on the jacket. Last week ,while looking at a Patriots blanket with two helmets spaced far apart, she imagined the two helmets facing each other on a jacket. On the Patriots jacket she made for Bello, a portion of the team’s Flying Elvis can be seen, with letters and other parts of the logo zigging and zagging on the jacket’s front.

“I just look for what would pop out. I see the helmet and the logo, I don’t know that I’d use the grass or the stadium seats,” said Murphy, looking at a Patriots blanket in her studio. “You have to think about whether the elements will be visually interesting enough, in a certain way.”

Making hip couture out of blankets or jerseys is hot right now. Several Patriots’ wives have been seen on social media wearing custom upcycled coats and jackets made from jerseys or other gear. Ann Michael Maye, who is married to hero/quarterback Drake Maye, has been photographed wearing a patchwork coat that blends old and new Pats logos with her husband’s name and number. It was made by a shop in the other Portland, of all places.

But Bello will try to change that. She’s not going to the Super Bowl simply as a fan. She works with a non-profit group called Covered by Music Foundation, which provides workshops and camps for young musicians, and was co-founded by Patriots cornerback Marcus Jones. Because she knows someone on the team, Bello recently attended a Patriots event where players’ wives were, and talking glowingly of Murphy and her jackets.

“A lot of the wives are getting handmade jackets, and I’ve recommended Daphne to them,” said Bello. “But I think they need to see it in person. I was like, wait til I wear it to the game, then you’re all going to want to buy one.”
