I like the individual embroidery patterns in this book, but I don't like the projects. I like the idea of embroidering a t-shirt though.

Enjoyed flipping thru, didn't make any of the projects

Great ideas like embroidering a denim jacket, coin purse, or t-shirts. I loved several of the designs: a giraffe with heart spots and the trolley car were my favorites, and they'll be fun to put my own spin on them. I also really like the pieces with text and am inspired to play with text more after reading this.
