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

Make!by Cath Kidston

I have just received this book, I have been eagerly waiting for it (ordered on pre-order - received earlier than expected!) and when I saw the lovely cover I was not disappointed! The book is full of clear colour photos on a lovely quality thick paper. This will be coveted by all ardent Cath fans to add to their collection, and with the added bonus of the plain tote bag supplied ready for you to customise, it will bring a smile to those writing their Xmas wish lists. It also comes with a Cath Kidston pencil and a skein of red embroidery thread to get you going!
I was expecting the content to be slightly different, as the book was advertised as making items using Cath Kidston fabrics. This is not strictly true. The contents heavily feature customising items such as bags, clothes, slippers, cushions, blankets etc using a variety of templates (at back of book - nice and clear) in the STYLE of Cath Kidston not necessarily using her prints. It does not show entire items made from the famous prints. Most projects involve simple applique using hand-stitching. This said it is a quality book at at reasonable price and one to inspire all sewing abilities.



4 out of 5 stars 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.



3 out of 5 stars 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 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.
