My teenager daughter and I bought the First Generation book, and loved it. This one is better! There are more ideas, and lots of ways to springboard your own imagination. You will never look at a tee the same way!

Here’s the best part, the diagrams and instructions are so easy to follow and you do not even need a sewing machine for the projects.This book has color photo’s too, Get this book for yourself or a holiday gift for any-one that sews,knits or crafts.

Very cool book. I have the first one too. Good instructions, minimal sewing experience is necessary for some projects. Makes me wish I had thousands of shirts to “remodel” because the projects are very fashionable.

More great t-shirt recon ideas, with an even better variety than Megan’s first book. Great, easy-to-follow instructions. You absolutely do not need to be an expert seamstress to make these projects. Be aware, though, that this isn’t high fashion; it is a ton of fun, however.

I purchased the first book Generation T: 108 Ways to Transform a T-Shirt a while back to use with my students, and we did quite a few projects out of it and my students really enjoyed it. On a whim, I purchased the second book for myself and spent 12 hours the next day tearing up t-shirts and turning them into new, fun, useful things. This book still has many ways to alter t-shirts into other wearables or “better” tops (some of which were in the first book) including a chapter specifically for the guys, but it also goes beyond wearables to things you can make and use around the house, in the car, for your kids, for your pets, and some great accessories. I have planned out half of my christmas list from ideas provided in this book, especially because its cheap, easy, and a lot of fun for me to make. If you’re torn between the first and the second, I’d suggest Gen T 2.
