Title: Cute, not hip
Review: This is not a bad basic book on embroidery, but I don't understand how anyone can call these patterns "hip." I'd use the term "cute" instead. I was glad I got it from the library first so I could see what the patterns were instead of going from the title. Having seen the book, I'm not going to buy it. The patterns are pretty conventional, not really different from embroidery patterns you can buy elsewhere (except for the one pattern showing an alien in a spaceship, which I did like). In the photos, the needlework is a bit more complex than what you get from the pattern. Photos showing various ways to "interpret" the patterns would have been helpful. But if you are just looking for patterns, you'd probably do just as well or better going to your local craft store or purchasing the patterns you want online.
