Average Customer Ratings:
Sew Subversive is about making fashion your own, whether it's embellishing or customizing off-the-rack clothing or transforming clothes that have lost that loving feeling. The three twenty-something co-owners of Stitch Lounge, an urban sewing studio in San Francisco, teach you, in plain, fun language, how to do it, whether you're hand sewing, machine sewing, or, in a few cases, simply wielding a pair of scissors.
The first three chapters lay the ground work: Hand Sewing Basics, You and Your Machine, and Gearing Up, which includes Fabric 101, how to set up a sewing space, and a run-through first project on the sewing machine. Then the fun begins with Embellishing and Customizing projects, including adorning your pant legs with ribboning, turning a computer-scanned image into an iron-on that you can apply to a t-shirt or skirt, taking in a skirt, or untapering a pair of pants (the authors believe tapered pants are the devil's work). Then move onto Refashioning: The Next Life of Your Old Clothes and turn a t-shirt into a skirt, a sweater into a halter top or legwarmers, or a pair of pants into a hip belt. There are 22 projects in all, some of which only require an iron and/or pair of scissors, while others can be sewn by hand, for those readers who haven't yet made the sewing machine plunge.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Great ideas! -
This is a great book for the younger demographic, since I am a little older, I will pass this on to my younger sewing friends. It has a lot of great ideas for some very unique clothes.

Semi lame -
Most of this stuff looks like what your little sister in junior high might make. Most of it was sloppy and just slapped together, the pictures weren't even good! I'd be very surprised to see anyone wearing any of these creations out in public!
Good intructions for sewing -
I bought this book expecting some cute ideas to remake my old clothes, and am sorely disappointed. I liked that all the sewing instructions are simple and to the point, but all of the projects are not only tacky, but I've seen all of them in some form or another online, for free.
Sew-Sew -
Some interesting ideas and written in a non-threatening way. For a book that encourages you to customize however, it needs more focus on how to draft your own pattern and adjust it to fit your own body.
Will work really well if you are young, slim and flat chested. If you have curves however, you wont get much you can actually use from this book.

Lame -
I am an avid crafter, taught to sew by my mother. I am now 30 with almost 2 decades of sewing behind me. I checked this book out of the local library, hoping to scope out some fun, fast projects. What I found was a book of horribly lame ideas and even worse craftsmanship. Do yourself a favor and skip this book.
If your a beginner, save your dough and invest in sewing classes.
