Sewing for a Royal Baby: 22 Heirloom Patterns for Your Little Prince or Princess

Patterns are on CD included in the back of the book
The book is brilliant, I love it. Sadly, the patterns are all on a CD-Rom - now outdated. It's very disappointing. I wouldn't have bought it had it said I would need a CD-Rom player.

The title says it all......only for princes and princesses.
This is a book for those who want to spend hours and hours on a garment, but many of the things in the book are not in any way practical for regular use. I had hoped to make some of these things for my grand daughters for use for special occasions, but there are very few of these garments that I would make for them. One little dress requires the use of a computerized sewing machine so you can use a CD-ROM for cutwork. I do not have a computerized machine. I had hoped for more smocked patterns, but there are not very many. I don't think I took the name of the book literally enough, since the front cover shows a dress that is on a 3-4 yr. old girl. I thought more of the patterns would be for that age. Most are for babies and are VERY involved with very expensive materials. Plan on that before you spend the money for this book. I also found the printing rather small, with lots of words, but not as many pictures of the completed garments as I would have hoped. I much prefer the Australian Smocking and Embroidery books and magazines with their color diagrams and beautiful pictures.

I particularly like the step by step diagrams on bullions
I particularly like the step by step diagrams on bullions, as a lot of other books only show you the first few stages, so the book is worth it for that clarification. The diagrams are clear and well thought out.Don't know why, but I was a little disappointed with this book and expected more from it, in terms of the projects to make up..I thought I would find the perfect christening gown for me to make in this book, but I will work from Embroidered Christening Gowns book that I have, published by Inspirations (Country Bumpkin).

Lovely book and patterns
I bought this book because I needed a pattern to make a Christening dress for my 12 month old granddaughter. I was so happy when I found out that the Kindle edition came with the PDF for the patterns and cutting instructions, plus the embroidery files. I made a dress from the book, there was a pattern piece missing, but it was easy to figure out. I love the dress. I kept my tablet besides me while I was sewing and referred to the instructions often. Very handy. Beautiful designs. Great price when you consider the price of patterns and embroidery files! I'm very happy with my purchase.

Sono i proggetti interessanti e i modelli dei abiti delle famiglie reali con le foto allegate come sono in origginale. Ho realizzato le scarpine per il battesimo. Sono venute molto carine. Peccato che i miei gemelli non le volevano e duravano 30 secondi sui piedi. Certamente non e colpa del libro. I cartamodelli sono in cd. Per il cartacceo bisogna stampare e rispettare la scala. Non e difficile. Unica pecca e questa. Per il resto Consigliato.
