Description:
Generation T (and its companion book Beyond Fashion) is a must
have for teens who like to recycle old shirts into something fabulously new!
The first book includes more than 100 projects (with 200 variations) to make
new shirts, tank tops, tube tops, skirts, blankets, handbags, leg warmers and
more! The companion book includes many projects beyond fashion such as items
for pets, bedroom décor, and a whole chapter on things guys can make.
Opinion:
These books are nearly 300 pages each of fun designs that go from super simple
to more complex. At the beginning of each design it clearly states if the
project is a no sew or sew design. There is a good mixture of both. The only
downside is that not every design is in color (there are colored middle inserts
but they don’t model off every design). Color photos would have been more
helpful. However, there is something here for everyone, including a wedding
dress! Favorite projects include the Two-Tiered Peasant Skirt.
