Fashion DIY
The most liberating piece of advice crafty girls Carrie Blaydes and Nicole Smith ever received? To never, ever look at a piece of clothing with a sense of finality. In Fashion DIY, the coauthors put this wisdom into practice, introducing the ten embellishment techniques frugal fashionistas will need to unlock the style potential in any piece of clothing, new or vintage. Each chapter covers one essential technique-from embroidery to applique to felting-and then illustrates it with three chic projects designed to take you from beginner to advanced. Once the creativity starts to flow, you'll never look at your wardrobe the same way again!
Product Details: Softcover, Color Photos, 7" x 9", 136 pages.

Sweater Surgery
How to make new things with old sweaters
Contemporary crafters are thriving on personalizing, modifying, and altering fashion as not only hobbies but as a lifestyle. Why repurpose your sweaters? Because you can't buy sweater fabric by the yard. Sweaters get damaged or go out of style but we still love the prints, colors, and textures. You don't have time to knit it from scratch. It's ecologically correct. And most of all--it's fun! Sweater Surgery shows you how to upcycle all your slightly worn, slightly damaged, or plain old out-of-style sweaters into fabulous new items for your wardrobe and your home. Readers learn how to choose, cut, restitch, felt, and embellish old sweater fabric, transforming it into beautiful handbags, mittens, scarves, hats, hoodies, skirts, jewelry, soft toys, pillows, and more! Complete instructions for 27 projects, plus a huge gallery of exciting ideas for further inspiration.
Product Details: Hardcover w/ hidden spiral binding, Color Photos, 9 1/4" x 10 1/2", 160 pages.

Generation T: 108 Ways to Transform a T-Shirt
by Megan Nicolay
Make it yours. This inspirational guide with DIY attitude has everything you need to know about the world's great T-shirt: how to cut it, sew it, deconstruct it, reconstruct it, and best of all, transform it. Features more than 100 projects (plus 200 variations) for customized tees, tank tops, tube tops, T-skirts-even handbags, a patchwork blanket, iPod cozies, leg warmers, and more. Not a DIY expert? Not to worry. More than one third of the projects are no sew, meaning anyone who can wield a pair of scissors can put a personal stamp on her wardrobe. But the sewing basics are here too: backstitch and whipstitch, gather and ruche, applique and drawstrings. And the mission statement for Generation T: Ask not what your T-shirt can do for you; ask what you can do for your T-shirt. And then Do-It-Yourself!

Jazzy Jeans
by Mickey Baskett
Just look at the price tag for some designer jeans: they're over the top! Fortunately, there's an easy, inexpensive, and fun way to jazz up ordinary denim so it's practically red-carpet ready: these techniques for distressing, embroidering, beading, painting, sewing, and studding turn jeans, pants, skirts, and vests into one-of-a-kind high fashion. Bleach and batik, add applique and lace, adorn with doilies and toile, embellish with ruffles and rhinestones, and give garments a leather monogram, western flare, or rows of shisha sequins. For each cool design idea, be it a swirl skirt or funky flowers on a jacket, there's basic information and a photo, along with projects and patterns. Or, for something different, transform clothing into fringed bags, pretty pillows, and decorated journal covers.
Product Details: Hardcover, Color Photos, 11 1/4" x 9", 128 pages.
