Book Description

Complete Photo Guide November 1, 2006
Step-by-step, fully photographed projects for all styles of furniture slipcovers, from the simple wrap to a custom-fitted cover.

The Complete Photo Guide to Slipcovers is a step-by-step guide to sewing decorator covers for upholstered chairs, sofas, ottomans, and dining chairs. The projects range from quick wraps to fitted slipcovers that stay firmly in place and create a new piece of furniture. Over 250 how-to photographs show the way to professional quality. Every step is clearly explained and shown, from measuring and cutting to adding designer details and trims. People who have been shocked by the cost of custom-made covers and disappointed with the fit and fabric choices of off-the-shelf products will find in this book everything they need to know to create slipcovers themselves.

This review is from: The Complete Photo Guide to Slipcovers: Transform Your Furniture with Fitted or Casual Covers (Paperback)
If you have pets, kids, or high use of you furniture this is an excellent book to hekp you keep your furniture in great shape.
I found this to be an excellent book for the individual with moderate sewing skills, it appears to be a bit more difficult for the novice, athough not impossible it is just a higher level than the novice usually is comfortable with.
However if you have the appropraite skill set this is an excellent book, the instructions and patterns are straight forward and with a bit of dilligence you can have a very nice slipcover within half a day.

4.0 out of 5 stars Liked another book better., May 28, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Complete Photo Guide to Slipcovers: Transform Your Furniture with Fitted or Casual Covers (Paperback)
I ordered this book and another (Custom Slipcovers Made Easy) from Amazon.

This book is very good and I would have given it five stars if I hadn't seen CSME. While I will use CSME mostly, this book has some different tips/information in it. I am happy to keep it for reference.

If I were going for just one book, I would choose Custom Slipcovers Made Easy. I reviewed that one also if you want to check it out.
