Love this funky book!

I LOVE this book. While *I* wouldn't necessarily wear all of the projects in this book, I love them because they more closely fit my ideas for recycled clothing, than almost all of the other books of this genre that I've seen. I adore the authors' funky attitudes and approaches to style, and the encouragement and tips. I haven't sewn much in many years, but am trying to improve my skills, and have a blast at the same time. My favorite project is the combo white shirt-denim puffy sleeves selection (so cute, I want to make a bunch).
