 More adorn than make November 21, 2008
I have to say I was really disappointed with this book and it would be better entitled 'Embellish' or 'Adorn.' No single project is made from scratch as each project starts with the main item already bought or already owned.
 Good coffee table book for CK fans but not really crafty November 9, 2008

It looks like opinion is divided on this book so I've opted for an average rating. I actually really like the book for what it's worth. I paid 4.99 for my copy but did not get the free extras which was a bit disappointed. It's a good quality, colour coffee table book that's bright and cheery and nice to flick through the pages. However as already pointed out in several reviews, there is nothing to actually 'make' here, it's all embellish. I don't know how many of the projects I will undertake because given the choice I would rather BUY Cath Kidston products than customise them myself but you never know, they might make a nice rainy day craft project. What I do like about the book is the copyright free templates in the back and the patterns that you can use on any projects so I'm sure it will come in useful some day. Otherwise I just like to look at the colourful pictures.
 Great book for the credit crunch! October 29, 2008

I am a huge Cath Kidston enthusiast, so I jumped at the opportunity to get this book and make my own projects using Cath's own motifs, and with 16 motifs and 30 projects to choose, and a free tote bag to get started, I thought this was a pretty good deal.
The book is suitable for both beginner and the semi-pro crafters and includes a section at the back of basic sewing tips and techniques. With the current mood for make-do-and-mend, I think some personalised projects with the aid of this book would make good christmas presents on a budget.

I think it's a smashing book. With different levels of skills it means it can be used for both adults and children and makes a great present for those cold wintery days when you want to stay in and be creative.
i love it
No "Making" involved!! October 15, 2008

I was very misled by the title and the synopsis of this book. If you are looking for a book to "make" items from scratch this is definately not the book to buy. Each so-called "project" requires you to buy items ready-made and then just embellish them with designs in the book. For example, you have to buy a hot water bottle cover, a tea towel, a cushion cover, rather than make these from scratch. It would be far more fulfilling to make things from scratch and then embellish them. Very disappointing and would not recommend.
