Generation-T
I'm gonna give it to you straight: I was not in the mood for crafting last night. I wanted to see my friend Megan Nicolay, who was in town promoting her new book, Generation T: 120 New Ways to Fashion a T-Shirt. You know, grab a drink, gab with a crafty friend. But, I was there for her demo, and within minutes, I was a total t-shirt deconstruction devotée. Megan's ideas are so incredibly simple and inspiring that I transformed one of my old t-shirts first thing this morning (it took two cuts of the scissors) and now I'm wearing a t-shirt that was languishing at the bottom of my dresser drawer like it's my new favorite top. Because, it is! Megan's on a 10-city tour, so be sure to see where she goes next!
