108 Ways to Transform a T-Shirt

For my birthday, Johnny ordered 2 books for me from Amazon.com. The one I am reviewing is called 108 Ways to Transform a T-Shirt.

This book is just that. It has easy to follow instructions that take you through step-by-step from t-shirt to whatever. Projects range from various t-shirt styles to purses, and even a wedding gown!

All of my kids are enjoying this book as well. We've made all KINDS of styles of shirts as well as skirts, dolls, bags, and even fake flowers! They've been cutting up everything!

What I really like about the book is that you don't have to know how to sew to do the projects. Most of the projects are fairly simple.

Below, Makena (age 7) made a doll from the t-shirt scraps! She practiced her 'whip stitch' all around the edges of the doll. She stuffed it herself and even made the doll a shirt and skirt from the book!

This book seems "seams" ha ha to be amazing. I'd love to get a copy for Heather and also for our older gentleman friend, "Raymond" who finds just about anything and either builds it into something new or restores it to it's original use.
