 Sew bad March 1, 2006

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.*

Much better than anything Elyssa Meyrich could ever dream up, this book actually has clothes I would want to wear. I am very much a DIYer, but my sewing skills suck hard. This book had me ripping up shirts the same night.

This book is not for those who want to clean out their closets. As soon as I opened it, I pulled all of my old t-shirts out of the give away pile and started rebuilding my wardrobe! The writing is lively and the projects are fun and fabulous. I really love the "Cover Girl" Halter Top (Project #46) and the "Knotty by Nature" Tube Top (Project #44). This book is also a great gift for all your cousins, kids and sibs in high school or college. Speaking as a 20-something myself, Generation T is a whole lot of fun!
Good book, but some ideas very basic.... February 13, 2006

I bought this book recently and I love it! The author has a fresh, friendly style that's reassuring for new DIYers like myself. There are tips and tidbits of fun t-shirt info sprinkled among her instructions. Some of her designs are very basic, but she shows things like cutting lines and alternative construction options very clearly, and also gives a lot of suggestions like what kind of thread to use and sewing tips. This is a good book for those who don't feel like they have a lot of creativity, or who are not spatially inclined (like moi) and have trouble transferring ideas from their head to their t-shirts.
There are a few things missing which I am sad about -- no puffed-sleeve shirts, no layered angle skirts and no ideas for sweatshirts. But a more experienced crafter could probably figure out how to do those themselves using some of the instructions here. People who have been crafting with Ts for years will most likely not get much out of it but for a good, basic tee book, this is a nice option.
