• Is There A Rating Higher Than 5? 27 September, 2008
This is the best DIY t-shirt book I've read. The refashioned clothes are real, wearable clothing. They don't look like that t-shirt you hacked up in high school, which is cool on a 15-year-old, but not so great if you want something more grownup and/or stylish. It gets you thinking on a track of making tees feminine and sexy!

• Make Your Mind Over This Book First 22 April, 2008
I purchased this book after Generation T; hoping for something more creative and challenging. I found Generation T a little too simple for my redesigning tastes. However, this turned out to be a little more than I bargained for. Just keep in mind:
THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR ANYONE WHO HAS LITTLE OR NO EXPERIENCE WITH SEWING.
Unlike Generation T, where 1/3 of the designs are No Sew, T Shirt Makeovers requires a substantial amount of experience, and for several designs, a sewing machine.
Also, if you are a person who likes to cover themselves rather to wear anything revealing, or a person is self-conscious of how they body looks (esp. overweight) you will probably find yourself not recreating the designs in the book.
If you are a senior/advanced sewer with a sense of fashion and not epidermis-shy, you will probably find this book a golden edition in your DIY library.
For the newbies, I reccomend Generation T; which is as basic as you can possibly get.
The designs are appealing and sexy, and the Sistahs coach you on fashion secrets, color, and body types. I, myself do not plan to create any of these designs, (with the exception of the first one) but it's been good inspiration for me, and I am satisfied with my purchase.

• Excellent 13 August, 2008
I have a host of t-shirts that I've started to convert. Some of the designs are okay but if you tweak it a little you can even refashion their designs. I'm quite happy I made the purchase.

• Diy Remixes 24 September, 2008
I purchased this book because of my DIY obsession. I was impressed by how informative the book is. Not only does the book give step by step instructions on how to achieve the designs but also talks about what fits best on body shapes, what colors work well with skin complexions, accessories, and more. I also own Generation T which is far less complicated and more beginner friendly. T-Shirt Makeovers is a great book and extremely informative but not for beginners. My knowledge of sewing and garment construction helped me to understand the guidelines to follow and the fact that I own a sewing machine helps as well, but for those who are new to the sewing and DIY world can get frustrated and confused. I recommend this book for the experienced and for those who are not, I recommend Generation T first. Overall the book was enjoyable and the designs impeccable.
