I was surprised to find that Ms. Nicholay's (?) book was a fantastic resource for even those of us who are not experts at DIY. I'd been looking for a fun, informative, easy-to-follow way to get into DIY crafting and fashion - this book is it.
I've gone through many of the designs already and have many more to go.
Here's to hoping there's another addition soon.
Perfect Book! February 19, 2007

Great instructions on how to make each project and SO many wonderful things to do with that closet full of old t-shirts that you just can't toss out due to the memories attached to them! I love the idea of the t-shirt quilt and plan to make it.
Oh, that I would have had this wonderful little tome in my hippie days! I'd have been the Queen of T's!
Buy this book if you like to sew and love to dress individually.
 Not worth your money or your time July 22, 2007

This book is just awful and it seems that a 10 year old could have done a better job. I have always been a diy girl it is my life, tees are most of what I wear. I live in Fl and a nice cotton T is worth its weight in gold on hot days.
All that I really hated this book. If you have ever sewn in your life this book is an insult your intelligence, that being said if you know what a needle and thread are this book is a total waste of time. There are entire pages dedicated to explaining to you what a needle is, what a spool of thread looks like, etc.
Many projects are no sew, but don't be fooled but that, they are usually held together by safety pins, Please this is not the 80's safety pins are not a fashion statement. No sew skirts and tube tops are going to be too loose and floppy you would be over-exposed.
Having some experience with t-shirt reconstruction, i can assure you that none of these projects would hold up in the wash. Many of the shirts are construced and they would leave your twins hanging out and exposed. Also unless you have a major hour glass figure your hips will not be able to hold up the skrits.
The book lacks information and, frankly, knowledge. it seemed very rushed. I suggest you look on the internet or even think a bit and you will be saving your money.
I think two blind monkeys could have pulled off a better written book and been able to transforn T-shirts into better items.

I found this book quite lacking in many aspects.
It was confusing, as well as difficult to read. It had pointless informaiton in it, and it was just horrible.
I will admit, some of the projects were O-K-A-Y but that is it. I would never concider wearing half of this stuff, and I am a die-hard DIY-er.
In my opinion, instead of wasting your money on this book, just go to the craftster.org site forums, and learn everyhting on there. It was a pointless book to buy, I am returning it tomorrow!
It was a total waste of money.
*P.S. al ofthe no-sew projects basically called for safety pins...REALLY LAME and overplayed cliche of punk rocker...gag ame with a spoon already.*

i had this book on hold at the library but after going to see the author at a bookstore i had to buy it. there are so many amazing projects in here that i can't wait to try. most of the projects in here are pretty form fitting so if that's not your thing you might not like it.
