Not for non machine-sewers

Such a cool concept - alas, since I am without a sewing machine, nothing I made was wearable. I know it says that you don't need one, but honestly, I'd be embarrassed to leave the house in the shirts I made. Yes, I'm not super-craftsy, but I gave it a good shot, and even hand-sewed a few...

Simple fun ideas

This book has great simple ideas. There are a number of projects that you don't even need to sew for. I bought the book for 1 project idea, turning a t-shirt into a fitted hoodie, and wound up making the t-shirt throw blanket my first project. I've since seen kits to do my project for sale for...

Love this book

A friend and I have after school programs and camps ages 6 to 13 and this book has made a huge impact on the whole group. The projects are fun and easy to do. The kids really wear the things they have made and feel good about recycling old t-shirts!! Wonderful book.

useful, but a lot of stuff i already knew

I bought this book hoping to get some new ideas on sewing. It did give me a few new ideas; however, a lot of the stuff i already knew how to make. For a beginning sewer it is a useful book of craftiness. But, if you already sew you brains out like i do, I would only buy it as a reference piece.

Too Young

I am sorry to say I was disappointed with the product. The whole book is geared for the younger girls and I was looking for something for the more mature.

Awesome T-Shirt Book

Always wonder what to do with those t-shirts that are too big or too small, or a little worn out! I recommend this to anyone looking for a creative way to recycle their t-shirts!
