The reviewer found 'Generation T' motivating, as it inspired them to create DIY t-shirt projects. While not all designs appealed to their style, the book successfully encouraged them to engage in crafting.
Crafting books are tricky to review because they're more about flipping through ideas than reading. As someone who isn't much of a crafter, the reviewer rates these books based on their ability to inspire action. 'Generation T' stood out because it actually motivated them to start a project. They tried a couple of designs, with mixed success, but the book's impact was clear when they found themselves crafting late into the night. Not all the designs were to their taste, but the book's ability to get them off the couch and creating earned it a positive rating.
Quick quotes
Crafy books are hard to evaluate. I don't feel like I necessarily *read* them, per se, so much as flip through them.
After having "read" the whole thing, it sat on my library pile for weeks, then one night I suddenly started to modify some shirts.
Some of the tops are very cute, some are less my style, but three stars for motivating me to get off my butt and actually *do* it.
