As promised, here are some photos from the recent book tour kick-off event at the B&N on 7th Avenue in Park Slope! Thanks again to all who came out to the festivities. There were T-shirt-shaped cookies, scissor-stenciled brownies, a Generation T product raffle, a dog in a T-shirt, and of course, several a refashioned T-shirt. There’s 1) me with the Exquisite Corpse T-shirt (project #82) from the Mr. T chapter; 2) Eileen and Tiffany, my two super models in Pinup Girl halter (project #1) and Back in Action T-shirt (project #101); 3) Tiffany even trusted me enough to cut the neckband off her T-shirt without giving her an inadvertent haircut!
4) The stars were out, including Eloise, our cover pooch (wearing a T-shirt decorated with an iron-on decal “Runs with Scissors” from the Generation T product line); 5) there’s me next to the window display; 6) and who could resist those T-shirt cookies?
7) Nate couldn’t. He took the prize for “Best T-shirt Cookie Transformation” with this T-shirt Cookie into T-shirt Cookie Tank Top. Next up: 120 New Ways to Transform a T-shirt Cookie; 8 ) Contestants up for the prize of top T-shirt transformation (i.e. sample projects from the book); 9) a nice poster and display by Peaches and the other kind folks at Barnes & Noble.
10, 11, 12) Twins Willa and Lucy won big in the raffle (iron-on letters to personalize their tees!); to celebrate one of them illustrated perfectly the appropriate use for the Shake It Up Baby dancing skirt (project #59), a no-sew project from the Kid Rock chapter.
More to come! We had two pro photogs, and an amateur videog in the audience. Stay tuned…

This event was so fun. It was amazing to see you refashion two shirts on two volunteers at the same time. You are one talented scissor-wielding rogue fashionista (refashionista?)!
