Love this book! Since I've gotten it I have read it twice and made a couple of the projects. I have even recommended to others who are looking to start cross stitch.

From the back cover: "Forget the fair young maiden painstakingly embroidering pillowcases for her hope chest. Picture a liberated lass (that would be you) creating chic fashions and accessories while sipping a glass of whatever and saving the planet. Not Your Mama's Stitching lets you choose from more than twenty projects to make or embellish home decor items, garments, accessories, gifts, and more."
