It's time to get subversive, again! The downtown divas of "Sew Subversive" are back with another happy helping of straightlaced sewing advice for stylish results every time. Transform tacky bridesmaid gowns and pleated pants into picture-perfect tops, skirts and accessories. The two Melissas and a Hope deliver 30 great projects that are achievable for even the new sewer.

What better way to say, " I am an individual!" than to wear one-of-a-kind items made out of other one-of-a-kind items? We derive the most fashionable satisfaction knowing that we are reusing and recycling what already exists in this material world--and looking darn good doing it!… (more)

As far as re-creating genuinely nice, attractive clothing from recycled or thrift store finds is concerned, this is THE best book I have come across thus far. Instructions are generally quite clear, well illustrated--i had only one question at the end of the whole book.

I don't pay for a lot of books, but this is one I'm definately going to purchase when I can, both for the great instruction, and because I am just thrilled with the mission of the authors and their contagious fun attitude. ( )
