Overall, this is quite a nice book with some good inspiration for creating christmas themed projects such as a fairy, table runner, tree decorations. But please don't expect the pattern for the lovley vintage boot alternative to a stocking to be in the book as I did - because it's not ! What is in the book are rough patterns for the embelishments on the boot (i.e. the flowe and leaves etc). I think the book would have been vastly improved by the addition of complete patterns, even if they had to be enlarged as i'm crafty not artistic.
