| Publisher Description: One of the simplest and affordable ways to add personality and warmth to your home is with fabric accents in the form of window dressings, bed coverings, pillows, slip covers and more. With the expert techniques shared in this book, you no longer have to rely on the limited options offered by ready-made items or pay the price for custom. You can learn to sew your own soft furnishings, from taking measurements and estimating fabric yardage, to sewing techniques with step-by-step projects and over 200 detailed diagrams. Luckily, sewing for the home is a great place for many beginners to start, as there are no patterns, fittings, zippers, or sleeves. By selecting frabrics with a proper mix of color, pattern, and texture, you can create home-made decor with a designer's flair. |
