 Strut the T-shirt catwalk August 13, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Like most aging runners, over the years, I have collected dozens of T-shirts. I thought about making a quilt, but it turned out to be a bit more labor intensive than I bargain for. Then I found this treasure trove of fun and easy ideas.
I am a craft person, so I have a plethora of projects in various stages of work. And I am always on the lookout for new ideas. Enter Nicolay's book. Okay, so most of the designs are for young women ages 13-25. But, this is where personal creativity kicks in. With a little more material here and a little less tight there, I modified some of the designs, so that even grannies like myself could strut the T-shirt catwalk. What a pleasure this book is. I highly recommend for those learning to sew and for people with limited time. I thoroughly enjoyed playing with the different patterns and designs.

The best part about this book is since you are actually seeing how they construct these Items, you realize that you are not just limited to Tees anymore.

this is so very awesome! I love it and have made a few projects from it, they turned out great! they were even some of the hardest ones (level 5) but I did well, I have not been sewing very long at all but I used my machine on these and am so happy with the results!I have always loved the idea of making my own clothes, but didnt really know where to start. Within maybe the first 5 minutes of opening this book and looking at all the different projects I started coming up with variation after variation in my head. So, if you have wanted to make your own clothes but havent had quite enough inspiration, this is an amazing book for you! ( not all the clothes in here are suitable for all tastes, and some people may think they are too revealing. but a camisole underneath could indeed help with some of these problems...)
Pretty neat, but not for everyone August 6, 2007

The most sewing I'd ever done before this was sewing buttons back onto shirts...but I found the instructions very clear and not at all intimidating. It does take a little practice to get the hang of cutting and fitting things just right, I recommend practicing on some old t-shirts you REALLY don't want. And it'd be a great deal easier with a sewing machine, which I don't have. (No wonder the Industrial Revolution kicked off with textiles...sewing by hand is VERY tedious).
Like another reviewer said, many of the tops can't be worn with a bra, or will only look good/fit on gals who don't need bra support. I've pretty much given up on most of them, as I don't fall under that category. So keep that in mind, though there are plenty of other good projects like skirts and accessories.
