| Make it yours. This inspirational guide with DIY attitude has everything you need to know about the world’s great T-shirt: how to cut it, sew it, deconstruct it, reconstruct it, and best of all, transform it. • Features more than 100 projects (plus 200 variations) for customized tees, tank tops, tube tops, T-skirts—even handbags, a patchwork blanket, iPod cozies, leg warmers, and more. • Not a DIY expert? Not to worry. More than one third of the projects are no sew, meaning anyone who can wield a pair of scissors can put a personal stamp on her wardrobe. But the sewing basics are here too: backstitch and whipstitch, gather and ruche, appliqué and drawstrings. • And the mission statement for Generation T: Ask not what your T-shirt can do for you; ask what you can do for your T-shirt. And then Do-It-Yourself! Editorial Descriptions are usually submitted by the manufacturers, publishers and authors. Contact us if you are one of them, and wish to change the above description. |

This book's really got it all; plenty of pictures of the finished products, as well as step-by-step illustrations guiding you as you go. There's even a really handy "intro to sewing" chapter that I really appreciated, being rather non-talented in the sewing arena.
Overall, this is a great book for beginners and it has enough creative ideas in it for people who have been sewing a while. I'm happy to have this little gem in my library.

This is a great how to, book, with easy (mostly NON sew)directions for artsy nonconformists, who like to make statements with their clothes. Yes it's basic...but that's the point. Teens don't want complicated, and neither do I. EASY,funky and cute. If you are creative there are other ways to use the ideas. My 15 yr old daughter can't wait to start ripping her T's up, so it's also good for teen anger relief, what more could a parent want?

This book is amazing. The author is one serious crafty lady. The first project I made was a dress AND I didn't have to cut OR sew ANYTHING!!!!!! I received compliments on it all day. The instructions and diagrams are very clear and easy to understand. For every project there are variations so there are fashions to flatter many sizes. There's even stuff for guys.
If you live in an urban area during the summer many parks have activities where free t-shirts are given out. Going on vacation? Every theme park, airport, gas station, beach destination, & tourist trap has their own
t-shirt. (Last years version is usually on clearance.) Why not pick up a few, get crafty, and present friends and family with a designer souvenir without breaking $5 on each? The possibilities with this book are limitless.
If you, are like me, and take serious issue in parting with your old t-shirts this book is an absolute must-have. ( And the first step in creating a killer summer wardrobe on the cheap!) Although not required, the Mini Rex Cordless Sewing Machine is a nice first timer sewing machine that will speed up your projects without breaking your wallet.

This book is an absolute must for any clothing reconstructionist beginner. There are many no-sew alternatives to the sewing versions and many of the ones you do have to sew involve minimal effort (mostly straight lines a few inches long). I LOVE this book and I think that most crafters would.

The day I got this book I went up to three different thrift stores and purchased what seemed to be a million t-shirts. I returned home and immediately started cutting away making the various t's and skirts! I LOVE this book and all it's rad ideas!
