I ordered this book after reading the positive reviews as I was looking to make this year's Christmas a little more personal, more... homemade.
The book is indeed pretty, with gorgeous photos of wonderfully quirky and cute projects using nice fabric, but I was looking for something with a greater variety of projects that could serve practical Christmas functions, done to a higher level of finesse.
There are a few items that were great and I will probably make: the teddy bears, the angel wings, the bird ornaments, the stockings (with a modified pattern)...
My biggest complaint is that of the 35 projects, there would be 5-8 that are "remakes" of the same item/theme - for example, the large angel, small angel, angel tapestry, angel framed card, angle wings, angel ornament... if you didn't like the angel design, there are only 20-something projects left to choose from.
Overall, the book is lovely but did not meet my specific expectations - I probably would not have bought the book if I had the chance to flip through the contents.

Sew Pretty Christmas Homestyle is a beautifully done book, with full-color pictures, of all the projects, on glossy paper. I am very happy I purchased it as it is now among my very favorite crafting books. Lots (35) of unique crafting projects, with several size choices available, and yes, they really are pretty! Overall, a very well-designed book & one you will enjoy using & looking through over & over. The only caution I would add (& why I didn't give it 5 stars) is Sew Pretty is really for someone with crafting/sewing experience, as the directions & material lists are quite general.

Oh My God, don't delay another second, buy this book. It's totally gorgeous, I LOVE it. I only bought it last week and have already made several things and flicked through it a million times. The pictures are adorable, the patterns sooooo simple to use and lots of them. Definitley definitley worth the money. The other Tilda books are equally as fabulous! I have pics of the teddy bears on my blog [...] (not sure if you can add blogs to this??)

Cute projects
You can never LOVE everything in a craft book, but I did see a few things I did like and feel inspired to make. It's nicely photographed which I appreciate.
