 Worth every Penny!! February 11, 2006

I found this book to be incredibly inspiring. Elissa Meyrich shared many of the "secrets" gathered throughout her long career in the fashion industry. This book gave me a great foundation in deconstruction/reconstruction. After completing a number of her fun and not overly complicated projects I had the confidence to 'go out on my own' and create my own designs. I won't have to worry about holiday shopping this year. My friends and family will get original hand-crafted items from yours truly! The book itself makes a great gift for people of all ages.
One Great Book!!!! February 10, 2006

It isn't too often that you come across an innovative and fun book that can actually be of use and teach you a trick or two. I thought I knew alot about creating new rags out of old rags. Boy was I wrong. This is a great purchase and I recommend it to anyone who is serious about making cool things.

Having taught sewing for more than a dozen years, I have seen how our culture has changed in terms of its willingness to experiment and be creative. Beginners are less likely to take chances now than they were ten years ago. This book gives concrete and easy to follow directions that will give people the confidence to play. Even experienced sewers will get great short cuts. If you can't get something creative out of this book, then you are not experimenting enough!
 pretty darn great! February 10, 2006

I put my order in for RIP IT a couple of months ago --- having loved the first book, I was eager to see what this one would be like. I just got it two days ago, and it's great! Unlike the first book, this book is all about transforming clothes, making clothes out of old garments. Very clever. And good for someone who is a little fearful of starting a project from ground up, like me. It's got the right combination of experienced tone (going through the basics of fabric and tools, plus a little history of fashion) mixed in with friendly "go for it, just MAKE it" type of sentiment. I think it takes a woman like Elissa who's been in the fashion business herself to write this way --- thanks for another great book!

[...] Personally, I've worked in the garment industry for over 18 years and I love this friendly book. I thought it was well put together and the graphics were very original. My teenage niece just ripped the book out of my hands and planned what she was going to do and all her friends are getting it too. I also got the Sew Fast Sew Easy and it is wonderful for my niece to learn how to sew...it's like sewing for dummies -- simple and again...great graphics.
