dope dope dope

this book is super dope. of course there are 99 different projects and so the book is aptly titled 99 ways to cut sew and deck out your denim. page after page i found myself saying "why didn't i ever think of that?" super cool designs at every level from pretty easy to really hard. the best part is that i have the first book, 99 ways to cut sew and tie your t-shirt, and together, the duo looks pretty cool together on my coffee table and a major conversation piece! Love these books, more please!

Something for everyone!

I just got my copy of the book in the mail today and I can't wait to try out some of these projects. Each one has a star system to indicate the degree of difficulty, clear directions, photos and illustrations and I think that there's something here for everyone, beginner sewers to advanced. I love the variety of projects. Lots of adorable clothing ideas (tops, skirts, pants, jackets, shorts, culottes...) and also really functional projects too, like a bath mat, a heating pad, a chair cover, a cd organizer for your car. I've been sewing for years (I used to work in a tailorshop) and believe me when I say that the glossary in the back is a real gem of ideas and information! It explains all the techniques used, terminology, patternmaking...lots of great stuff here to get you inspired and create new things from all your old jeans!

so creative

I love the illos and the photos. A great follow up to the cool t-shirt book. keep em coming girls!

Hours of fun and creativity!!

I have a daughter who is getting into sewing and I bought her this book. It's absolutely perfect for the beginner but I can see that as her skills grow, she'll still have lots of projects to work on. We are having a sleep over with all of her friends and everyone's bringing thier old jeans. Not everyone can sew but with all the cool ideas in this book, I know that they will all go home with the coolest jeans around. Talk about a super fun, educational, rewarding party!! I would buy this book for all your creative friends and family. Perfect for the pre-teens and fashionista's.

...!!!

it's frustrating for me - i'm from italy, but, i have to say: forget the old fashion stuff like gucci prada armani. the FUTURE world's style necessarily comes from these three girls and their rehab/clothes approach...ecological awareness meets cool style..and it's not expensive at all! this is REAL genius.
