The T-shirt is the centerpiece of a girl's wardrobe
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.
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.
Even a patchwork T-blanket.
10% off Amazon's Prices on over 900,000 Books! The T-shirt is the centerpiece of a girl's wardrobe. But even better, that same T-shirt is a blank canvas just waiting to express the personality and creativity of its owner. 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, 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.
we love this book!, March 16, 2006 Reviewer: Tammy "Tammy, Matt's other half" (Northeast Wisconsin, USA) - I am 38, my daughter is 17.....we both love this book! And while I may never wear most of the designs in this book, I like them all and will wear some, my daughter and her friends can use them all.....the ideas are great, explanations clear, and can be accomplished by even a beginner. I have many years of craft and hobby sewing experience, which I think helped in some of the projects I made, but weren't necessary.
