3.0 out of 5 stars Caution, January 12, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Home Decor for 18" Dolls (Paperback)

It is a lovely book but I want to caution you that there are no patterns for the furniture. The furniture is bought ready made from Walnut Hollow and the directions are for decorating it. At least one of the items is not available in the Walnut Hollow catalog that just came out. There are directions for making foamcore backgrounds. If you already have the clothing books you may not want this one also unless you need instructions for tablecloths, bedspreads and such. Cute ideas though.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointed, July 14, 2007

Magda Denes (Planet Earth) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Home Decor for 18" Dolls (Paperback)

It says "Home Decor"... It says "Full-Size patterns for fashions and accessories.." I was so excited because I wanted all the ideas of how to make the furniture shown on the cover-- thought the furniture was an accessory pattern. Well, there are no furniture patterns in this book... It's just pictures of "bought" furniture arranged in rooms and painted and/or decorated in different ways. It has a pattern for a rug, for a cushion, etc. and clothes patterns... I'm going to give it away or something.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic !!!!, January 18, 2007

seamstress in the making... (Rhode Island) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Home Decor for 18" Dolls (Paperback)

What a fantastic book for those hard to make beddings and decor! She even tells you exactly where you can purchase the unfinished furniture. The patterns are excellent and easy to understand and follow. Finally, there is a book that shows how to dress up the decor and accessories!
