Product Description
Megan Nicolay revolutionized the T-shirt. She repurposed it, reinterpreted it, reinvented it—and made the #1 craft book in the nation, Generation T, which continues to dominate. Now she explores new ways to slash a tee, scrunch a tee, and sew a tee with Generation T: Beyond Fashion. A collection of 120 projects for every occasion, it takes the humble yet ever-malleable tee in dozens of new directions—from baby gifts to pet accessories, stuff for the home, the car, the road, the boyfriend.
The rallying weep is: Don’t buy; DIY. The result is hip, imaginative, crafty, and very green. There’s a basic primer on techniques—knotting, sewing, braiding, lacing—plus a full tutorial on embellishing. And then an incredible range of projects. There’s fashion, of course: all-new halters and tank tops, sexy gaucho pants, a baby-doll dress, twisted shrug, and hooded scarf. But also baby gifts: Jumper for Joy, Baby Back Bib, Wild Thing Blankie. Home décor: plant hanger, wine cozy, toilet seat take in, ruffled apron, and Spastic Plastic (grocery tote). Grill mitts and bolo ties for the guys, doggie tee and stuffed cat toys, a steering veer take in for the car, the Ants Go Marching (picnic blanket), and Beach Bum (beach caddy). Projects range from the simplest no-sew to intermediate, and all have simple-to-follow illustrated directions—plus, how to throw your own Tee Party.
Time to get your craft on.

I was very pleased that this book came in as quickly as it did. I’ve been waiting to buy this since I saw an advertisement for it and wanted to get ongoing on the projects straight away!
Thanks!

When I ongoing flipping through this I thought I was just going to return it because I didn’t see anything I wanted to make. The leader of the book is a tiny lady and she comes up with designs for tiny framed people. Also there were a lot of baby items which I have no use for and I wasn’t really into the home decor items. But as I got further in there were some pretty cool thoughts. If you liked the styles in the first book you’ll probably find things you like in this book too. You just have to sift through some crap to find the excellent stuff.

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

This is a fun book for DIYers who want to make use of all persons ancient t-shirts. There are a few options that turn out looking pretty nice, most are just fun/silly. I reflect this would be fantastic for teens/young adults who want to get some experience with crafts and sewing.

I was tickled to find this book at my local craft store (though I paid considerably more for it)! I can’t wait to give this to my 7 year ancient daughter for Christmas. What better way to recycle her ancient Hannah Montana t-shirts than turn them into pillows and quilts?!? I like that the projects in here are simple and that some require no sewing. I expect to spend many hours in the coming months making new things!
