Ranked #30 in Arts & Design, #384 overall
Recycle it, resuscitate it, refashion it, re-invent it.
The scope of Nicolay's how-to book is broader than its title suggests. It's a breezy, trendy call of encouragement to a young crop of do-it-yourselfers, with enough ideas to inspire experienced crafty types, too. The T-shirt is the starting point; the 108 end results-many of which have an edgy, even punk-like feel.

Generation T: 108 Ways to Transform a T-Shirt
I think I have the usual 200 T-shirts from every concert, every charity event, every "walkathon"....this book is seriously amazing. So clever, so easy to follow. I made a gore skirt out of 6 T-shirts and strangers stopped me and said "I love your skirt". My nieces love this too...very hip, very cool...and unlimited ideas.

How to Convert a T-shirt into a sexy Dress
108 Ways to Transform a T-Shirt
You can deconstruct it, you can reconstruct it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can deconstruct it, you can reconstruct it. Recycle it, resuscitate it, refashion it, re-invent it. Make it punky, make it funky. In the hands of Megan Nicolay- who knows the DIY pride of accomplishment and the pleasure of making something chic and unique (and cheap)-the T-shirt is like fashion ore, as she shows how to turn any ordinary, preferably well-used T-shirt into a halter, a tank top, a peasant blouse, or, for a total transformation, into a T-skirt. Or a hat. Or leg-warmers, a drawstring purse, an iPod cozy. Even a patchwork T-blanket. Read More Here

- my daughters are always cutting, tying, etc t-shirts "re-fashioning" them.
I love to cut them into strips and make rugs with them!
I look forward to learning how to make a t-shirt quilt--that is next on my quilting list.
