I am so excited to bring you this great contest!
Megan Nicolay, author of “Generation T: 108 Ways To Transform A T-Shirt” has offered one of my lucky readers their own copy of her book.

Generation T is all about using your resources creatively. Why not transform a t-shirt into another piece of clothing, rather than having to buy it new?
As a special treat, here’s a sneak peak with instructions to create your own “Pin Up Girl” halter top – all you need is a pair of scissors. This project doesn’t even need to be sewn!

Good luck!
I would like to win because my daughter who is realy crafty would love to have this
I’ve been following tshirt surgery blogs for a few years on LiveJournal but haven’t taken to the plunge. But I’ve been saving a few concert tshirts and regular T’s in hopes of making something creative and fun. I love to repurpose and refashion old clothes into new duds so this book would be a great resource.
I’d love to receive a copy because I don’t believe in throwing away but, reusing. Who can afford to take things for granted and abuse what our world has given us? Thank for the chance.
I lost 84 lbs last year and I could really some make over ideas to a) use all those huge t-shirts and b) show off my new size.
I have been scrapbooking for years and have just recently decided to expand my crafting. I would love to learn how to transform my t-shirts into something new and fun!
I want to win because I think this is something me & my oldest daughter can do together! I’d love to share my love of crafting with her in a fun way for her.
This is great. I often make pillows and re use Ts in different ways, so ways of remaking a T into another piece of clothing is wonderful.
A do over in the best way..
I love this book! I checked out at my library and renewed it 3 times. I would love to own it.
I love that there is a derby girl in the book. I play derby in Texas. As I was reading the book, I kept thinking ‘this is sooo derby’ and then there was a pic of a skater. Awesome!
You are super creative!
I checked this book out at the library and ended up renewing it 3 time. I love it!
I kept thinking that it was very roller derby like (I skate for Texas Lonestar Rollergirls) and then there was a pic of a skater. How perfect! My skater friends would love this book!

I have more then 100 t-shirts and it is time to remake them into something else. I have begun to sew, so this book would be great. Thank you so much for that chance.
i’m a winner everyday what a wonderful mverno@roadrunner.com
I’d love to win a copy of this book. I believe the arts of sewing, needlearts & crafts are in danger of dying out; & as a grandmother I try to pass on these things to my grandchildren & their families. I also applaud the “green”-ness of re-using items that may otherwise be trashed.
I would like to win because some of my tees have sentimental value, like the ones I received as gifts or bought on vacations. They are wearing out, but I hate to throw them out.If I transformed them, I could still keep my memories.

I first saw this book in a store window on trendy State Street in Madison IL. When I saw it I knew I had to have it. At the time I didn’t have enough cash on me and thought I would go back. I never did. I would love to be able to make something new out of all those old concert tees sitting in my closet!
This looks like such a fun craft to try. I would love to win the guide because it is a craft that my sixteen year old would be interested in and I am always looking for things to try that she would consider hip. She is off to college at the end of this year. I’m sure T-shirts are going to be a major part of her wardrobe.
Thanks
I would like to win this book because I just recently created my first very own altered t-shirt for myself. I would love to win this book so that I can get more ideas on how to create dazzling t-shirts from old t-shirts. I love being creative and also have many t-shirts due to being the only female in a house of four males, who tend to live in t-shirts. This book would allow me to recycle many of the t-shirts that are no longer worn by my male family members into works of art for myself and other females in my family. I think this book would really motivate and inspire me to get my creative juices flowing in a positive direction while giving new life to the many t-shirts that seem to multiply within my house. I personally have never liked wearing t-shirts, but really like the one that I created for myself today…so I too may find myself wearing more “altered t-shirts” that I have created, especially if I can win this book that will give me more creative ideas to work with.
I bought this book for my friend as a birthday gift & liked it so much I almost couldn’t part with it so I’d like to win a copy for myself.
My daughter (15) just recently iedyed a T-shirt for the first time. The first one didn’t turn out that great, but the second one, which her mom helped with, looked really cool. I think she would love to have an entire book with fantastic ideas on ways to trick out T-shirts, so I hope I win this for her!
i would love to own a copy of this book. i would love to learn different ways to reuse my old shirts. those ideas are awesome
I have a few t-shirts left over from failed iron-on experiments, this would be a good use for them!
i would really LOVE to have a copy of this to not only sell in my soon-to-be craft shop but also to share with the teenage ladies who live near me who are interested in small upcycling projects I will show them !
Looks great
I think this would be a great way to bond with my 11 year old niece. Thanks for the chance!
I really love the idea of couture and upcycling!
This would be fun to do with my 3 nieces. We’re always looking for creative and fun projects to do.
I would really like a copy of Generation T because it is such a creative book and one I will utilize at home and with my students….great idea!
Thank you.
Looking for unique ideas to earn extra income.
I would like to win because my daughter would love this.
I would like to win this to help spice up my wardrobe and give me ideas for different things to do to make things not just basics. Also, I just started a job where they accidently ordered mens size large ts for everyone and we have to alter them to make them look more feminine (but not slutty!). I think this could give me some good ideas other than just cutting the neck off and belting it to make it a boatneck tunic.
I would love to try and redo some of the old t shirts I have
This looks fun. Seriously.
I have picked up this book so many times in the bookstore, and for reasons I can’t explain, I have always put it down! It has some great ideas in it, and I would love to try them out!
I’m really handy with a scissors and a needle and thread. I have lots of tee shirts. I’d love to follow the instructions in the book to make Christmas and birthday gifts for all my friends. I’m sure they’ll love them.

I’d love to win this because I have a lot of old tees that I can’t wear and I don’t want to consign them all to the rag box if I can recycle them!
I think this looks like a cool way to be creative and green!
I’d like to win because I think it would be a fun thing for my daughter and I to do together! Thanks!
this is a great book, a friend has a copy and i’d love one of my own
Great read to be creative!
i would like to win my very own copy of generation t because it’s cool to find new ways to wear the same clothes!
My kids love stuff like this.. please enter me
I have a little fashion diva in the house, and I know this would make for some great rainy-day projects for us.
I want to win my own copy of Generation T because it sounds very interesting!
