 I loved this book!!! June 13, 2008
The first time I sewed anything was in middle school shop class - we made this hideous blouse that I never wore because I didn't like the material or the pattern. I decided to get back into sewing because while I didn't like the end result, I loved the process. I have a sewing machine coming and I can't wait to get started. I want to try at least a few of the techniques I saw in this book. Imagine being able to tailor make your own clothes! I HIGHLY recommend this book.

I was disappointed in this book. There is some good basic information, but very little "deconstruction". A majority of the projects are merely adding decorations or embellishments to garments. Large print and a lot of white space on the pages make the book appear more substantial than what it actually contains. There are no pictures of actual examples, which would be helpful. Many of the projects are dated and uninspired. All-in-all, I am sorry I bought this book.

I was excited about this book, I checked it out from my local library, I was really not impressed. I have been sewing on and off for 3 years and I was looking for ideas to refresh the clothes in my closet. I live in Miami, the projects they suggested were way too basic and no way would I walk around miami wearing anything this book told me to do.
The only thing I learned, or re-learned cuz I had forgotten was how to make your jeans shorter but keep the original hem line. So I'm really glad I didn't just buy this book.
 Not great May 9, 2008
Poor production and dull simple projects. No photos or coloured pictures. I've seen much better books along the same league.
Way too basic April 22, 2008

This book isn't so much about refashioning your clothes so much as a basic sewing and fit lesson. I felt this book was WAY too basic for me. There really weren't any patterns and the pictures were pretty unimpressive. I was really disappointed with this book. If you are curious, get it from the library, but don't waste your money!
