Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bayswater Book Co.

It’s hard to look ahead to T-shirt weather when there’s still more than a foot of snow on the ground, but it didn’t seem to bother the folks in New Hampshire who stopped by Bayswater Book Co. on Saturday for the Generation T Tee Party!

Some nice shout-outs by the local papers made for a cozy crowd, and a handful of scissors made the T-shirt sleeves fly!

Bridie was my fabulous model for the halter top demo. Then she and her mom, Katie, who brought T-shirts from home to transform, made the Mane-iac scarf (project #91 in Generation T: Beyond Fashion) and the Outer Lace tank top (project #16 in Generation T).

Bridie peaced out, turning her discarded T-shirt sleeves into a pair of laced up Gimme Some Glovin’ glovelets (project #103 in Generation T: Beyond Fashion). Then Katie refashioned a Back in Action tee (project #101 from Generation T: Beyond Fashion) to wear to teach yoga classes next week.

Ella fashioned a Mane-iac scarf, too, and then made a no-sew knotted pillow (Pillow Talk, project #30 from Generation T: Beyond Fashion) out of a T-shirt she had outgrown (definitely keeping with the peace theme, too!).

And several Tee Party-goers went home with their own signed copy of Generation T and Generation T: Beyond Fashion!

Then it was back to Holderness School for the second week (and the second eco-fashion show) of Artward Bound.

Center Harbor, NH @ Bayswater Book Co.

Please stop by Bayswater Book Co. on the lake in Center Harbor, New Hampshire on Saturday, March 12 for a good ole fashioned Generation T Tee Party! I’ll be signing books, demonstrating two projects from Generation T: Beyond Fashion (don’t forget to pack a T-shirt or two so you can follow along!) and hey–maybe I’ll even bake cookies for you, too.

As some of you may have already heard, I’ll be in town for the artist in residency program at Holderness School — and I’m so excited to be able to squeeze in a visit to one of my favorite indie bookstores. (Here’s a photo from my trip there back in 2007, for a Tee Party with Generation T: 108 Ways to Transform a T-shirt.) Growing up in the Granite State, Bayswater was one of my local bookstores, and it holds a very special place in my heart. Not only do I visit the store often (whenever I’m back visiting family!), but my favorite summer job in high school was that of “story lady” at Bayswater. Once a week I selected a general theme and selected books from the shelves of the bookstore to share with the kids and have a discussion (future book club members, for sure!).

Hope to see you there!
