Last stop on this leg of the tour was 1) Denver’s Tattered Cover on Colfax, a giant among indie bookstores, and a place I’ve been wanting to visit for years. 2) Thanks to Beth Wood at the bookstore for the extraordinary welcome and enthusiasm!
3) I signed books and together we refashioned nearly 40 old T-shirts!!
4) With Beckie as my first model (I hated to cover the super cute refashioned tee she was already wearing!), we made yet another Back in Action tee (project #101). Then my lovely volunteer Helen stepped up for the Pinup Girl halter transformation (project #1). 5) In addition to my undeniable devotion to my sewing machine, did I mention I like no-sew projects?–here’s the Shake It Up Baby skirt (project #59) and the Tic Tac Boa (project #115).
Old friends–6) hey Beth! 7) hey Dave and Aleana!–thanks for showing the love!
New friends, too! 8 ) Cutting into the sides of a tee make the Knot So Fast tank top (project #104). 9) Victoria showed up in this hybrid design from the first book: Brokenhearted (project #2) plus Lace Age (project #17).
10) Victoria and Isabel dig voraciously into a pile of T-shirts!
11) Two books, 228 projects total–keep cutting, people (and don’t forget to use those scraps!)
I can’t wait to come back again for a visit!!

Yes, come back to Denver! I didn’t know that you visited, I would have come to the signing. I’ll sign up on your mailing list so that I’ll be in the know next time around.
I absolutely love your first book, “108 Ways to Transform a T-Shirt;” I bought it in 2006 from a Michaels in Colorado Springs, and my sister and I have made many, many projects from your book. Thank you so much for the inspiration and motivation. Now nearly everything that I see has a possibility for a second (or third or fourth) life.
I haven’t picked up your newest book, yet; this will change soon!! Good luck with everything, Megan! It’s wonderful to see you on Threadbanger. Excellent site, by the way. : )
Hi Megan, Sorry we missed you in Denver! Would love to meet you the next time I’m in town!
