Generation T-riffic! May 7, 2008
I really like this book because it is chock full of really fun ways to transform blah t-shirts into something unique. You really don't have to be an outstanding seamstress to do most of the projects either, which is great news for me. I hand-sewed one of the projects in about an hour and it looks fantastic. My mom was impressed anyhow.
 This book is no good May 6, 2008
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought this book hoping there would be some wonderful and innovative patterns. I opened the book and to my surprise there was not many patterns, just 100 ways to cut holes in you t - shirts. So if your into slashing up your clothes with razor blades, than this book is for you!
 Great ways to redesign and restyle your favorite T's. May 6, 2008
I got this book 2 years ago to work on some projects. I made one tube top, and then misplaced it. So I bought another copy this week, and am ready to start crafting. You can make sexy tops, pillows, bags, really hippie chick trendy to sexy hot club tops. Its fun to use old ts that you have not worn in forever, as well as pick up some fun ones at the thrift store or a yard sale. My collection of ts is vintage motorcycles. So I have some very unique rare t s to make into something fun and new. Easy to follow instructions, diagrams, and tips. A great book for the creative crafter, aspiring designer, especially if you like to cut things up.....
Amazing Book!!! April 22, 2008
this is one of the best books that i have i a while all that ideas are just simply amazing.
New Generation of Redesign: April 22, 2008
This was my first ever redesign book. But even for a newbie like me, I found most of it painlessly simple. I wanted something to challenge me, really get my attention, make me say; "WOW!" 1/3 of the designs don't even require sewing! There's even one pretty laughable creation where you take an oversize t-shirt and just tie it around your body! A beginner could probably make 95% of these designs. But in spite of it all, this provided inspiration for me to pursue my redesigning style.
Up to now, I've only created about four designs in the book, and over 13 of my own imagination. Generation T gave me the boost I needed into the crafty world of redesign and self-created fashion.
If you are a senior/advanced sewer, this book will probably bore you. If you are looking for inspiration, you've come to the right place. But if you're too left-brain and can only create designs in the book, your creations will probably end up as few.
Also, some designs are revealing/peek-a-boo/revealing. Of course, you could just slip a tank top over that tube top, and leggings under the skirt, but sometimes it will just look tacky. If you're self-concious of your body showing, you might want to reconsider.
There's a whole section dedicated to skirts. If you are tomboy like me and cannot stand skirts, you can either:
a) make the creations and not wear them (give them away as presents!)
b) skip them
c) change your stubborn tomboy ways and start wearing skirts
There are also some cool non-wearable recreations, like the patchwork quilt, spiral rug, and pillows.
In my opinion, amoung the best designs are...the hoodie, gauntlets and leg warmers, and punk poncho.
As long as you are a creative person, you'll probably find something in here that catches your eye. Just be take warning of what is in here before you make the purchase.
