Sought after for her innovative use of color and pattern, professional t-shirt designer Jennifer Cooke has created 20 do-it-yourself projects--many can be completed in under and hour--for turning your classic tees (and accessories) into colorful, bold, graphic personal statements.
Combining basic sewing, hand-printing, and screen-printing techniques with stylish wearable projects, "Design Your Own Tees" gives you the tools to stand out in the crowd--whether you choose to re-create the looks shown or to adapt the techniques to express your unique artistic vision.
Use thread, ribbon, and fabric to play with texture through decorative machine stitching, hand embroidery, and applique.
