A plain T-shirt is a blank canvas just waiting to be dressed up. Fashion T-Shirts is about transforming a T into a personal fashion statement with easy sewing and crafting. The 25 projects both alter and embellish a basic, inexpensive T-shirt. The embellishing includes simple embroidery, crochet, painting, stamping, buttons, fringes, tassels, rhinestones, and beads. The altering involves cutting, reconstructing, and simple sewing to change the structure of the garment. Projects included are for women or kids and are made with T-shirts of all colors. There will be lots and lots of original, clever details. Stylish, fashionable and fun, this is the book for wearable that we woman can really wear. Easy, clear, step-by-step instructions with how-to photos and projects inherently easier than regular fashion sewing because each starts with a ready-made T-shirt (no fitting, no patterns).

This review is from: Fashion T-Shirts: Easy-Sew Projects for Fun Fashion (Paperback)
This is not a bad T-Shirt reconstruction book, it just isn't very good. There are plenty of photos, which is nice, and the direction seem to be well written...but that is all it has going for it. The projects are not interesting or innovative and they all seem rather dated. Like late 1980's early 1990's dated. All of the projects scream "homemade" and while I'm all for "homemade" items, these were too blah. No project has a zing to it, or looks to be "fashionable". That being said, if you were sewing for kids under 9, they would look cute in some of these styles. Also, if you were a (younger?) beginning sewer, these might make for some interesting projects. ALl in all, it is a 2.5 star really. Get from your local library instead.
