 T-shirt Madness November 27, 2007
Rip It!: How to Deconstruct and Reconstruct the Clothes of Your Dreams
I got these two books together for my bday. I liked them both, but felt generation t could have provided more sewing techniques. All in all it is a good book. I would suggest it for a rainey day or to make shirts to club in.

I will start out by saying that this book is awesome for the person who has never ventured near a tee with scissors and razor blade in hand. The instructions are very clear and most often simple and easy to follow. Most of the designs are fairly basic and don't really require any previous sewing experience, though I would say if you want to get into any major restructuring of anything, sewing experience would be very helpful. My only issue with this book is the sizing issue I have run into with most of the patterns. I feel that the sizing in most patterns is for a flat-chested, less-shapely woman. I have had to adjust every shirt and skirt I have made. I am a size 8 or 10 and happen to be a bit busty (34DD) and have had issues with every top being too small in the bust. I would recommend this book to someone who is just discovering how fun it can be to recreate one's wardrobe, but for someone who has been doing it for a while may find the suggestions/patterns a bit been-there-done-that.

Most of the styles in this book are a bit "edgy" for my more conservative tastes. I was hoping for a few ideas that I could use, but could not. I am passing this book on to my daughter and friends. The best was the wedding dress. It was really quite attractive and I know some young gals who could pull it off. Still looking for a book with some ideas for a more mature crowd.

This book has many cool and cute ideas. And they are not all shirts. There are skirts, a checkbook cover, and an iPod cover, just to name a few. The directions are very well written, and the diagrams are very helpful. Warning: some of the shirt designs are not age appropriate for younger kids (under age 16 or so). There is, however, something for everyone.

This T-shirt re-crafting book is fantastic! The projects are fun and most are fairly easy. The author gives clear directions and good step by step drawings. There are many creative ideas; tops, skirts, dresses, bags, pillows and much more. There are many small projects for scraps too. Most of the projects are good for all ages (I'm 43) and could be done even without a sewing machine, although it's much quicker with one. What I really love is that you get more like 300 ideas because she gives at least a couple variations on each project. Hit your local thrift stores and garage sales and even if you can barely sew, you could be wearing an awesome one of a kind skirt for less than $1!
