1.0 out of 5 stars make what exactly?, 15 Oct 2008

By	loulou (uk) - See all my reviews

I've been eagerly awaiting Caths latest book but this one should have been called 'embelish' or 'adorn' rather than 'make'.
As always a nicely laid out book and typically colourful, the finished items just don't appeal to me at all,there could have been far more projects using the enclosed templates that were not only sewn,a small painted cupboard maybe? I'm a great fan of Ms Kidston but this isn't one of her better books,possibly aimed at 10 year old girls.I don't know anyone over 10 that would wear the pink college cardigan with felt initials or a cowboy appliqued skirt, but hey, I may be wrong. Nice vintage blanket with the cars on and the needle case is pretty and you do get the free bag but sorry that's about it for me. Not worth the rrp,so if you buy it on Amazon for �7.49, I suppose it's not that bad really!
Mine will be for sale on ebay shortly. Very disappointing.

1.0 out of 5 stars No "Making" involved!!, 15 Oct 2008

By	Book Vulture "Book Vulture" (UK) - See all my reviews

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cath Kidston - Make, 14 Oct 2008

By	Melissa (UK) - See all my reviews

I was very disappointed with the book as it was advertised as instructions to make things with Cath Kidston fabrics. I was hoping there'd be patterns for bags and things. Instead the book focuses on customising ready made items with C.K. designs e.g. buy a bag, buy a tea towel, buy a baby's bib and use the designs to embellish them. From my point of view the book is extremely disappointing as I was looking to make something from scratch. Having said that the designs are as you'd expect from Cath Kidston stuff. However, the book could have been a lot better had there been full instructions to make the items and customise them - a lot more satisfying. At the cost of a couple of magazines it is OK but I'm glad I didn't pay the full rrp. If you want to make something then look elsewhere, there are plenty of better books out there to get you started. If you're looking for C.K. designs then you can't go wrong.

Very disappointed, basically shows you how to applique with several different designs to choose from on to different projects. Would not recommend, not as creative as "Sew".

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. Read more
