Embroidered clothes add some delightful extra personality to your wardrobe, so instead of spending money on new commercially embroidered clothes, why not customize your own with the exact design you want?
Customize Your Clothes is a beautiful gift title featuring 20 projects for personalizing your clothes with hand embroidery. Using a range of techniques, materials, and designs, this book guides you through which tools to use, which stitches work best with certain designs, and also teaches you how to embellish with a range of materials to add a special personal statement to your items.
Projects, which include a plant T-shirt, a motif tote bag, beaded collars, and a monogrammed sweater, make up this collection of ideas and inspiration for personalizing your wardrobe. Designs range from embroidering an image of your pet on your T-shirt to decorating your sweater with pompoms. By customizing your own clothes, you will have a unique collection of items all embroidered to your taste of color, style, and design, and without spending a fortune.

Does what it says in the title - teaches you how to customise your clothes with hand embroidery.
The font could be a little larger (I'm not sure why all that white space was needed) and that would make it easier to read and sew at the same time.
But as a jumping off point to sew your own designs, this has decent instructions and some interesting projects. Despite the cutesy hearts on jeans on the cover, there are other projects that might inspire such as sharks, bugs, pot plants and text.
Line drawings in the back if you think your sketching skills are not good enough.

I grabbed this book off of the library shelf based on the spine title Customize Your Clothes, and it wasn't until I got home that I realised it was all embroidery projects. Some sweet designs in the mix, but not the book I was looking for.
