Generation T: 108 Ways to Transform a T-Shirt

this is one of the best books that i have i a while all that ideas are just simply amazing.

This was my first ever redesign book. But even for a newbie like me, I found most of it painlessly simple. I wanted something to challenge me, really get my attention, make me say; "WOW!" 1/3 of the designs don't even require sewing! There's even one pretty laughable creation where you take an oversize t-shirt and just tie it around your body! A beginner could probably make 95% of these designs. But in spite of it all, this provided inspiration for me to pursue my redesigning style.

Up to now, I've only created about four designs in the book, and over 13 of my own imagination. Generation T gave me the boost I needed into the crafty world of redesign and self-created fashion.

If you are a senior/advanced sewer, this book will probably bore you. If you are looking for inspiration, you've come to the right place. But if you're too left-brain and can only create designs in the book, your creations will probably end up as few.

Also, some designs are revealing/peek-a-boo/revealing. Of course, you could just slip a tank top over that tube top, and leggings under the skirt, but sometimes it will just look tacky. If you're self-concious of your body showing, you might want to reconsider.

There's a whole section dedicated to skirts. If you are tomboy like me and cannot stand skirts, you can either:
a) make the creations and not wear them (give them away as presents!)
b) skip them
c) change your stubborn tomboy ways and start wearing skirts

There are also some cool non-wearable recreations, like the patchwork quilt, spiral rug, and pillows.
In my opinion, amoung the best designs are...the hoodie, gauntlets and leg warmers, and punk poncho.

As long as you are a creative person, you'll probably find something in here that catches your eye. Just be take warning of what is in here before you make the purchase.

this has a ton of ideas in it. Though most of the styles are ment for really skinny girls. I suppose if you had the gumption you could alter them for the normal to full figured gals.

I have been making t-shirt quilts and recently was making tank tops out of t-shirts but using regular patterns. I really wanted this book so that I could make other things. However I am no longer a teenager so I wouldn't (and couldn't wear) almost everything in this book. I think that my tank tops using patterns came out better. This book gave me a few new ideas. I probably won't actually make anything out of it, but it may be a good book for a beginner.

As a designer I used to snub my nose up at casual clothes and especially T shirts.
This book helped me rethink this completely. By combining my design concepts to go along with T shirt knit, it allowed me to experiment with concepts I never would have tried while cutting into silk.
It gave me freedom as a designer I never thought was possible.
