1 out of 5 stars A Book for whom, exactly?   November 26, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The book is, as other reviewers have said, misnamed, since virtually no actual making is involved; instead it offers ideas on how to decorate ready made items. It offers no challanges in terms of craftsmanship;indeed, from the sewing skills involved, it would seem to be aimed at primary children, but I can not imagine any child wanting to make these projects. A pointless book, all in all.


1 out of 5 stars More adorn than make   November 21, 2008
  4 out of 4 found this review helpful

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.


3 out of 5 stars Good coffee table book for CK fans but not really crafty   November 9, 2008
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

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 disappointing. 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.


4 out of 5 stars Great book for the credit crunch!   October 29, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

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.



5 out of 5 stars brilliant   October 17, 2008

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
