Book Review and Giveaway: Design Your Own Tees

I adore a book that not only teaches you lots of new techniques but inspires you to make your very own creations. I can imagine each and every one of the projects in Design Your Own Tees by Jennifer Cooke (St. Martin's Press) spun into millions of other projects. You can block print, silkscreen, stitch and appliqué your way to tee shirts of course but also to everything else you own!

Jennifer is known for her bright colors and modern bold prints in both her line Raeburn Ink and in this book. Her style is such an original modern take on many different crafty techniques- I want to make everything but my absolute favorite is the hexogonal appliqué tee on the front cover. I could imagine that pattern on tees (natch), pillows, a dress or maybe an ipad cover?

So...do you want to win this book? Of course you do! Here's what you have to do: leave me a comment and tell me if you've ever done any tee shirt makeovers. What did you do? What do you want to try?

Just leave a comment by Monday July 11th 5 pm EST and I'll pick a winner.
