I adore the ideas in this book. Every time I open it, I get excited thinking about Christmas! As a bit of a novice, I've found the book to be very thorough, with explanations of how to complete the projects. The pictures are utterly gorgeous, and I find some of the more quirky ideas really inspiring! Can't wait to get started!!

If you don't have the earlier book, Sew Pretty Homestyle, then this is a great book to have. But the techniques used, though clever in their simplicity, are the same as those in the earlier book. The slippers, dolls, fruit, etc, are more or less identical, just in different fabrics. The Babushka dolls are new and different though and very nice. The author has made the effort to include a section on boys' bedrooms but this is a bit unrealistic: far too pretty and girly for most little boys. This is a beautiful book and worth owning for that alone, but much of the beauty comes from the use of the author's own, specially designed fabrics, wrapping papers and paper cutouts. Would the items look as good made from other (less expensive) materials? Probably not.

I was already familiar with Tone Finnanger Books when I purchased this one as I already have Sew Pretty Homestyle. I ordered this for some inspiration for unusual Christmas items to make for my friends and family. I was not disappointed. It is, once again, a most beautiful book packed full of ideas and inspiration to make the most fabulous things for Christmas. It features 35 different projects that include Christmas stockings, angels, hearts, sweet cones, a neat little bag, teddy bears, decorations for the tree, scarf and mittens to name but a few. It features the prettiest Tilda fabrics which, for me, are rather expensive, but I feel that with a little application I may be able to source fabrics just as lovely but somewhat cheaper. It is well presented with fantastic colour photographs and clear, concise instructions. Also, the patterns at the back of the book are ready to trace as they are actual size and do not need to be enlarged before use. I would recommend this book to those of you out there that appreciate pretty country style and for those seeking a book that will provide you with the 'feel good' factor! Its a most pleasurable book just to browse through and I am hoping that, in the not too distant future, my home is graced with one or two of the projects herein! Highly recommended and im very pleased I purchased it. I love it so much that am now wondering whether to invest in the Spring book and the second Christmas version :) !!

Busy fingers required!
This book is alright but still not happy with all the items contained in it. Would have liked some more traditional ideas.
