One Skein : 30 Quick Projects to Knit and Crochet

"These knitted and crocheted fashion accessories and
decorative accents for the home vary in their required levels of skill, but all
can be completed quickly and require only one skein of yarn. The stitch
patterns and clear instructions make it easy for even procrastinators and
the less-than-diligent to create a ruffled cravat, a drawstring bag, a tank top,
cozy scarves, arm and leg warmers, lace wristlets, fingerless gloves, a mohair
pillow, and even a sweater for a baby. Several projects do not require any new
yarn at all—instead projects such as the Felted Striped Tote or the Labyrinth
Circle Rug are designed using up a skein’s worth of leftovers from other
projects. A guide to terms and techniques, a resource directory, and a
bibliography are also included."

Sew T Shirt

“The T-shirt is the centerpiece of a girl’s wardrobe. But even better, that same T-shirt is a blank canvas just waiting to express the personality and creativity of its owner. You can cut it, sew it, twist it and turn it. You can deconstruct it, you can reconstruct it. Recycle it, resuscitate it, refashion it, re-invent it. Make it punky, make it funky. In the hands of Megan Nicolay — who knows the DIY pride of accomplishment and the pleasure of making something chic and unique (and cheap)—the T-shirt is like fashion ore, as she shows how to turn any ordinary, preferably well-used T-shirt into a halter, a tank top, a peasant blouse, or, for a total transformation, into a T-skirt. Or a hat. Or leg-warmers, a drawstring purse, an iPod cozy. Even a patchwork T-blanket. In 108 unexpected, easy-to-follow projects, this pied piper of DIY shows first how to tee off with the basic materials plus add-ons (ribbons, lace, safety pins) and techniques (stitching, hemming, gathering). Then come recipes: 13 projects for customizing a T-shirt (i.e., doing everything to it you possibly can and still be able to call it a T-shirt); 21 projects for tank tops (less shirt, more style); and 14 projects for tube tops and halters (even less shirt and more style). There’s the Two-Tiered Peasant Skirt, the Bow-Tie Beanie, the Sweet Dreams pillow…”
