Extraordinarily clever ways to transform any ordinary T-shirt.
The pattern techniques are simple, and the supplies you’ll need are easy to find: T-shirts, scissors, sewing needle, and thread. The difficulty of each project is rated from 1 to 4, and none take more than 30 minutes to create. You’ll never look plain wearing a T-shirt and jeans again.

Summary: Bad designs, few instructions
Comment: The WORST t-shirt restyle book I've seen. There are a lot of ideas here, but many are unwearable if you are over 25 or weigh over 100 pounds or need to wear a bra, and some would be awkward even then. Part of the problem is the concept doesn't lend itself to so many designs; The only materials they allow for each project are one tee, scissors, thread & needle. I understand not everyone has vintage brooches or silk ties lying around to revamp a tee, but I think adding a second tee or ribbon or shoestrings would help a lot. The problem is that they have to cut these items out of the shirt in one place to add them in another, so you wind up with things that are heavily layered in the front and have no back, drawstrings cut in a spiral from a circular cutout, etc., which is what makes some designs awkward. Some of the designs cannot be saved by adding materials-they're simply unattractive. I'd look elsewhere for inspiration.

Summary: Fantastic
Comment: I just love this book, I have made 18 totally different style t's. Easy to follow instructions.
The book rates the level of dificulty and approximate time it takes to complete the project. I love it!

Summary: Good inspiration
Comment: I am not a skinny twenty-something, but I did enjoy this book. I found that by taking a neckline from one design and a sleeve cut from another, I could turn a boring T-shirt into something far more interesting, without baring all! For those who can wear these styles, enjoy! For others, like me, just take what you want and leave the rest.

Summary: Good for inspiration
Comment: This is a very imaginative book with many good ideas. I don't think that t-shirt material will behave in the way the drawings describe. It would have been better to have pictures instead of drawings to get a real feel for the results. Some of the ideas are totally unwearable, too revealing or ugly, but they are all good starting points for altering other things if you like to sew. There are however enough ideas that I'm sure that some of them will turn out.
