ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
The T-shirt-preferably well-used - is a blank canvas. You can cut it, sew it, twist it, and turn it. You can deconstruct it, you can reconstruct it. Recycle it, resuscitate it, refashion it, and re-invent it. Make it punky, make it funky. It is the perfect jumping-off point, and Megan Nicolay - who knows the my-pride of accomplishment and the pleasure of making something chic and unique (and cheap) shows how to turn an ordinary T-shirt into a halter, a tank top, a peasant blouse, or, for a total transformation, into a T-skirt. Or a hat. Or a Christmas stocking, a drawstring purse, a wine bottle cosy. Even a quilt.In 121 unexpected, easy-to-follow projects, this pied piper of DIY shows first how to tee-off with the basic materials plus add-ons and techniques. More than half the projects require no sewing, and all are rated according to the level of difficulty.
USER REVIEWS
"This book designed for a teenage audience and is ideal for anyone who wants to have a little fun and create something a bit unusual from just a plain old t-shirt. This is not for anyone wanting to be taught how to sew, create patterns and become a good seamstress.
The ideas are simple, easy to follow and anyone with a little imagination has probably played around with ideas like this already. I'd say it's good for beginners, and would make a perfect gift for any rebel-without-a-cause teen girl that likes to cut up their clothes in the name of style ;)"

"Yes this book is quite basic and yes some of the designs I would never wear in public, but some I really like and are almost classy and all are a source of inspiration for further personal ideas for using up your old T-shirts. You're bound to find something you like in book with over 100 ideas. "

"Ignore anyone who says this book is rubbish - it was delivered to my house this morning and I am completely in love with it already!! I haven't actually given any of the ideas a try yet, but it will keep me occupied for HOURS!! There are hundreds of cool ideas in here, and I'm going to need a heck of a lot of T-shirts to try them all!! Haha, seriously though, this is ingenious, and there's something for everyone...
Very clear and easy to follow, detailed diagrams.

"A great book on T-shirt reconstruction with tons of ideas. The instructions are easy to follow and most include suggestions for variations. The pieces vary from super-easy, no-sew to a wedding dress made from shirts. On top of the large number of suggestions this book will inspire you to design your own. Although be warned: quite a few of the pieces are more suited to teens rather than thirty-somethings such as myself. Still it has given a number of oversized t-shirts in my collection a new lease in life."
