Hannah Rogge faced a common quandary. She had a closetful of oversized T-shirtsleftovers from old boyfriends, charity-event giveaways, rock-concert souvenirs, gifts from relatives travels. She rarely wore any of themthey werent exactly flatteringbut she wasnt ready to throw them away.

What to do? Well, this ever-inventive industrial designer and jewelry designer, who just loves making something from nothing, decided to save "those shirts" by cutting them apart and stitching them back together, creating garments she might actually want to weara sexy lace-up tank top, a racer-back tank top, and a mini skirtas well as useful accessories, including a belt and a tote bag. And she figured out how to complete almost all of them in less than an hour (either by hand or with a sewing machine) for just a few dollars.

Now everyone from the most craft-savvy to the craft-challenged can do the same by following Rogges step-by-step illustrated instructions for her most popular designs. "Save This Shirt" even comes with a cool large T-shirt imprinted with the "Save This Shirt" logo and compressed into a tiny T-shirt-shaped blockto use for practice.
