 Great ideas in this book November 13, 2006
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Things you would never think of. A lot of them are very simple, and don't require a sewing machine or previous knowledge of sewing.

This has a nicely varied assortment of projects, not just wearables, but it is nothing too fantastic-- car lot pennants? Placemats? They may be celebrities, but they arent doing any mind-blowing design. Another problem with this book is that some of the projects require a wide-spread crafting knowledge (screenprinting and crochet) and the supplies for those things (screen and ink, squeegee, etc) which could get a little spendy. the wearables are not that cute or inspired (applying rows of snaps, embroidering on the shoulder? children could have come up with this stuff. check it out at the library first. This wasnt at all what I was looking for, but it might inspire you. It did have great photos.
THIS IS THE BEST T-SHIRT BOOK OF THEM ALL!!! September 13, 2006

I was surprised to find so many t-shirt books to choose from so I took a plunge and actually ordered three of them. TEASE was by far the most practical and inspiring book of them all. The best part about it is that it not only gives you ideas on how to turn your t-shirts into other types of shirts, but it has projects for turning t's into bags (my favorite idea!), skirts, scarves, even seat cushions! I was amazed to find one scarf project that actually has you cut a shirt into thin strips and then knit them into a very cool and original scarf. I would have never thought of that! There are also much simpler projects, like a tote bag project that I finished in under an hour. The fact that the projects come from an assortment of amazing crafters from all over the country means that there are dozens of different styles and tastes represented, from classic and simple to slighty over-the-top (if you're in the mood for that sort of thing...). If you're looking for endless inspiration on what to do with those t-shirts that you just can't part with, this is THE book you NEED!!
t-shirt overkill August 20, 2006

The reference to craft "superstars" should have warned me off. The lowly T-shirt shows up as a placemat, a lampshade, a car-lot hanging banner, cafe curtains, and a rug - oh yeah, and a couple of overworked wearables, too. Tricky projects show off the wit of their too-cool creators rather than enrich the lives of DIY readers.Who needs it?
a good teaser August 6, 2006

In addition to the great ideas for transforming your t-shirts, it introduces you to real crafting superstars and a whole new world of inspiration. It goes beyond wearables and has great photos and directions. This is a must have book for anyone interested in alternative crafts.
