I am a huge fan of Djerba Goldfinger's online business, Reprodepot. I love checking out all the latest fabrics she carries, so I got very excited when she published her books. It is so fun to flip through all the pages, and get a real sense of the patterns, and then use those patterns for endless craft projects. Brilliant concept that keeps on giving! I bought the book as a gift, but am enjoying it so much I plan to buy another for myself right away!! I also bought the stationery set - very CUTE!Reprodepot Pattern Book: Flora: 225 Vintage-Inspired Textile Designs (Reprodepot's Pattern Book)

What a fantastic book this is, particularly for all you lovers of paper craft out there. You get 225 floral patterns - three different colors of 75 designs - which can be downloaded from the disk that comes with the book. The gorgeous patterns can be used for creating your own stationery, papers for scrapbooking, journaling and other crafty projects. Author Goldfinger provides step-by-step instructions for 10 projects to get you going, including party invites, weaved placemats and a flower bouquet. Some templates are included in the disk.

While the swatches are for personal use, they can be used on a LIMITED basis for crafted goods for sale. The license allows for the use of the swatches "to make small runs of up to 10 copies of an item produced by an individual artist or craftsperson that incorporates a Swatch, provided that the retail value of each item does not exceed $100".

You can read the license agreement in the Amazon preview - which also includes the pages with the thumbnail photos of the patterns in the book. Check it out!

I am a graphic designer. I purchased this book for commercial projects but the license is only for personal use. The description of the book is misleading. It should clearly state that it is for personal use only. What a disappointment.
